Objective
To evaluate the impact of the K-line and canal-occupying ratio (COR) on surgical outcomes in patients with multilevel cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL).
Methods
Patients with cervical myelopathy due to multilevel OPLL who underwent decompression surgery (anterior or posterior) from 2013 to 2022, with 2-year minimum follow-up, were enrolled. Radiological evaluations included K-line, COR, OPLL type/level, and cervical parameters (C2 slope [C2S], T1 slope [T1S], K-line tilt). Clinical outcomes included Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score and neck-pain visual analogue scale. Patients were categorized by K-line status (+/-) and COR (<50% or ≥50%).
Results
Among 575 patients, JOA recovery was significantly better in the K-line (+) and in low COR (<50%). In high COR (≥50%), K-line (-) was associated with poorer recovery. In low COR, outcomes were similar regardless of K-line. Anterior decompression with fusion (ADF) yielded the best outcomes. Laminoplasty (LP) was optimal for COR ≥50% and/or K-line (+), while laminectomy with fusion (LF) was better for COR ≥50% and K-line (-). In high COR, K-line was influenced by cervical alignment, C2S, and T1S, while in low COR, it was mainly affected by COR percentage.
Conclusion
Combining K-line and COR is essential for surgical planning in multilevel OPLL. When COR is high, K-line plays a significant role in predicting neurological recovery. ADF led to superior recovery, whereas for patients with K-line (-) and high COR, LF offered better results than LP. Cervical parameters at high COR influence the K-line more.

Objective
The study compared the morphometric changes of the cervical spinal cord using dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) and assessed the correlation with kinematic changes, cord cross-sectional area (CSA), and high signal intensity (SI) on T2-weighted imaging (T2WI).
Methods
Patients with CSM were evaluated through dynamic MRI for sagittal and axial CSA changes of the cervical cord, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) reserve ratio, degree of cord impingement, cord compression rate, range of motion (ROM), and severity of SI on T2WI. The degree of cord impingement was evaluated using the Muhle grading system. Clinical outcomes were assessed using Japanese Orthopaedic Association scoring and Nurick grade.
Results
The study included 191 patients (113 males) with a mean age of 55.34 ± 12.09 years. The lowest sagittal CSF reserve ratio and cord occupation rate were observed during extension. Cord impingement and SI change were more prevalent in extension-positioned MRI. There was no difference between ROM on dynamic radiographs and dynamic MRI. Preoperative cervical ROM was greater in patients with intensely high SI change.
Conclusion
Dynamic MRI is useful for evaluating neck movement. Patients with high SI had greater ROM before surgery but worse outcomes after. Neck extension exacerbated cervical stenosis and cord compression compared to flexion, and cervical spinal motion contributed to the severity of CSM. Cervical spinal motion should be carefully evaluated, particularly in hyperextension, to prevent worsening of CSM.

Objective
Theoretically, the optimal approach is determined by the status of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) and sagittal alignment. However, there have long been disputes about the optimum surgical approach of OPLL. This study is to compare risk-effectiveness between anterior decompression and fusion (ADF) and laminoplasty and laminectomy with fusion (LP/LF) for the patient with cervical myelopathy due to multilevel cervical OPLL.
Methods
We searched core databases, and compared complication and outcomes between ADF and LP/LF for patients with multiple OPLL for the cervical spine. The incidence of complications such as neurologic deterioration, C5 palsy, and dura tear was assessed. Changes in JOA score between baseline and final evaluations were assessed for 2 groups. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) was utilized for evaluating clinical significance. We calculated Peto odds ratio (POR) and mean difference for the incidence and continuous variables, respectively.
Results
We included data from 21 articles involving 3,872 patients with cervical myelopathy with OPLL. Major neurologic deficits such as paraplegia, quadriplegia developed 2.17% in the ADF group and 1.11% in the LP/LF group, and POR was 2.16. Mean difference of JOA score improvement of 2 groups was 1.30, and the mean difference showed a statistical significance. However, 1.3 points of JOA improvement cannot reach 2.5 points of the MCID.
Conclusion
Anterior surgery often led to rare but critical complications, and the difference of neurological improvement between 2 groups was below a clinically meaningful level. Posterior surgeries may be appropriate in the treatment of multilevel cervical myelopathy with OPLL.
