Spine, 2015 Retrospective study.To evaluate the usefulness of 3-dimensional (3D) measurement of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL), and identify the reliability of a novel 3D method of measurement.OPLL is not a 2-dimensional (2D) disease, but rather a 3D disease. Therefore, conventional measurement of parameters using radiography may not be

The relationship between OPLL and metabolic disorders
Bone ResearchAbstract Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is a degenerative disease characterized by progressive ectopic bone formation process, which can lead to severe neurological impairments and reduced quality of life.

Analysis of progression of cervical OPLL using computerized tomography: typical sign of maturation of OPLL mass [PDF]
Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, 2015 OBJECT The progression of cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) can lead to increase in the size of the OPLL mass and aggravation of neurological symptoms. In the present study, the authors aimed to analyze the progression of cervical OPLL by using CT imaging, elucidate the morphology of OPLL masses, and evaluate the ...

Association of a BMP9 Haplotype with Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament (OPLL) in a Chinese Population [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Direct or ex vivo BMP9 adenoviral gene therapy can induce massive bone formation at the injection sites and clearly promote spinal fusion. A comprehensive analysis of the osteogenic activity indicated that BMP9 was one of the most potent inducers of ...

Targeted next-generation sequencing reveals multiple deleterious variants in OPLL-associated genes
Scientific Reports, 2016 Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine (OPLL), which is characterized by ectopic bone formation in the spinal ligaments, can cause spinal-cord compression.

Diagnosis of Cervical OPLL in Lateral Radiograph and MRI: Is it Reliable? [PDF]
Korean Journal of Spine, 2012 Objective Cervical OPLL is a relatively common cause of developing cervical myelopathy or radiculopathy in Asians. Cervical OPLL is sometimes missed in lateral radiography or MRI. In the present study, we analyzed the diagnostic accuracy of cervical OPLL

Correlation of OPLL with Spinal Instability [PDF]
Journal of the Korean Radiological Society, 1998 PURPOSE: To evaluate the relationship between spinal instability and ossification of the posteriorlongitudinal ligament(OPLL). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 70 patients(M:F=45:25, mean age=53years) diagnosed as OPLLon the bosis of with surgical operation ...
