Changes in the Cervical Range of Motion and Clinical Outcomes After Laminectomy With Fusion for Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament: Impact of K-Line and OPLL Subtypes
LF significantly improved neurological function in OPLL patients regardless of K-line status or subtype. Although radiographic parameters vary across subgroups, these morphological differences do not predict 2-year clinical outcomes when sufficient decompression is achieved.
