A comparative study on clinical outcomes and safety of accurate anterior cervical ossified posterior longitudinal ligament en bloc resection versus piecemeal resection in patients with ossification of the cervical posterior longitudinal ligament: a p
This study demonstrated that the ACOE technique gained higher JOA recovery rates and better neurological recovery than ACOP for OPLL patients with COR ≥ 50%. In addition, ACOE offered a shorter operative time and less intraoperative blood loss as compared with ACOP. Therefore, the postoperative complications were not more common between two groups.
