OPLL (Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament)?
Are people on this forum here familiar with this condition on cervical spine?
Do you think if ADR will help treat this condition? Thanks for your help.

Hi. I spent several minutes perusing this link and found that in Charite, it's an exclusion. One article by Bertanognli in a book I think also says it's counter-indicated. Heckuva question and maybe more up-to-date info/devices will help you.
Have you asked some ADR surgeons this question? http://tinyurl.com/yg3kjoh My best, ans
