Su B, Shen J, Luo X, et al. - In this study, the clinical efficacy of posterior laminectomy with instrumented fusion and foraminotomy (LFF) for cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) with radicular pain of upper limbs was investigated. Researchers retrospectively examined a total of 48 OPLL patients with radicular pain symptoms of upper limbs who had undergone a one-stage posterior laminectomy and instrumented fusion with/without foraminotomy between January 2014 and January 2018 and divided them into two groups: LF group (laminectomy with instrumented fusion without foraminotomy) and LFF group (laminectomy with instrumented fusion and foraminotomy). This study’s findings revealed that one-stage posterior LFF can achieve satisfied clinical effectiveness in improving neurological function and relieving the radicular pain of the upper limbs for OPLL patients with radiculopathy symptoms.
