Impact of Signal Intensity Change in MRI on the Clinical Outcomes of Cervical Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament
SI changes on MRI are associated with worse preoperative neurological function and greater pain but do not predict inferior surgical outcomes. Surgical decompression remains effective regardless of SI changes, which can be valuable information for explaining the prognosis to patients in clinical practice.
