This article describes a case of ossification of the posterior longitudinal and yellow ligaments on the lumbar spine. The patient presented with gradually worsening left lower-extremity ache and pain. The deep tendon reflex was hyperreflexia in the lower extremities. Disturbances existed in the blade and bowel. The ossified lesion of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament was observed at L5-S1, and plain lateral radiographs and computed tomography revealed ossification of the yellow ligament on L3, which occupied a large part of the spinal canal. Because of the findings on the preoperative radiographs, we performed posterior approach decompression and bone grafting and excisied the ossified lesion. Pedicle screws were inserted from L3 to S1. The patient\u2019s symptoms disappeared postoperatively, and his Japanese Orthopaedic Association score was 25 two weeks postoperatively.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>No standard surgical procedure exists for the treatment of lumbar ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, but it is important to select a surgical procedure according to individual patient conditions. Many factors, such as local mechanic stress, tissue metabolism, high glucose, and genetics, contribute to the progression of ossification of the posterior longitudinal and yellow ligaments on the lumbar spine. However, the mechanism is unclear. Further study and long-term follow-up on lumbar ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament is needed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3928\/01477447-20120123-22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,6]],"date-time":"2012-02-06T15:13:50Z","timestamp":1328541230000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal and Yellow Ligaments on the Lumbar Spine"],"prefix":"10.3928","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Desheng","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhaoyu","family":"Ba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Weidong","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ju","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2308","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1259\/0007-1285-52-623-865"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","first-page":"250","article-title":"Ossification of the yellow ligament and spondylosis and\/or ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the thoracic and lumbar spine","volume":"12","author":"Epstein NE","year":"1999","unstructured":"Epstein NE.
