Anterior cervical decompression improves medial plantar pressure in OPLL with gait disturbance: a 24-month retrospective cohort study
In OPLL myelopathy with focal T2 hyperintensity, direct ventral (anterior) decompression was associated with a more durable 24-month reduction in medialized plantar loading than posterior indirect decompression, with aligned improvements in MRI signal and JOA.
