The role for surgical intervention and choice of anterior or posterior approach is controversial.

For patients with maintained cervical lordosis, posterior cervical decompression and stabilization is advocated. The use of laminectomy or laminoplasty is indicated in patients with preserved cervical lordosis and less than 60% of the spinal canal occupied by calcified ligament in a \u201chill-shaped\u201d contour.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2010.12.focus10283","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,3,3]],"date-time":"2011-03-03T02:21:27Z","timestamp":1299118887000},"page":"E3","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Surgical management of cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament: natural history and the role of surgical decompression and stabilization"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Patrick A.","family":"Sugrue","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jamal","family":"McClendon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ryan J.","family":"Halpin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John C.","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tyler R.","family":"Koski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aruna","family":"Ganju","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-0300003","series-title":"J Bone Joint Surg Am","first-page":"1537","article-title":"Insulin secretory response is positively associated with the extent of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine","volume":"83-A","author":"Akune","year":"2001"},{"key":"b2-0300003","series-title":"Clin Orthop Surg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"8","DOI":"10.4055\/cios.2010.2.1.8","article-title":"Inter- and intra-observer variability of a cervical OPLL classification using reconstructed CT images","volume":"2","author":"Chang","year":"2010"},{"key":"b3-0300003","series-title":"J Spinal Disord Tech","article-title":"Surgical strategy for multilevel severe ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament in the cervical spine","author":"Chen","year":"2010"},{"key":"b4-0300003","series-title":"J Neurosurg Spine","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"33","DOI":"10.3171\/2009.7.SPINE08965","article-title":"\u201cSkip\u201d corpectomy in the treatment of multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy and ossified posterior longitudinal ligament.
