Determining the optimal surgical method for cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is challenging. The surgical indication should be made based on not only radiological findings, but also the patient’s age, preoperative neurological findings, social background, activities of daily life, and the presence or absence of comorbid diseases. Anterior resection for OPLL with or without wide corpectomy and fusion, posterior decompression with or without relatively long fusion, or anterior and posterior combined surgery may be considered. When evaluating the clinical condition of patients with cervical OPLL before surgery, various radiological parameters should be carefully considered, including the number of spinal segments involved, the cervical alignment or tilt angle, the relationship between OPLL and the C2–7 line (termed the “K-line”), the occupying ratio of OPLL, and the involvement of dural ossification. The objective of this article is to review the radiological parameters in current use for deciding upon the optimal surgical strategy and for predicting surgical outcomes, focusing on cervical OPLL.
Complex Revision Surgery for Cervical Deformity or Implant Failure

Postoperative cervical deformity sometimes occurs in the short or long term after primary surgery for cervical disorders related to the degenerative aging spine, neoplastic etiologies, hemodialysis, infection, inflammation, trauma, etc. Cervical kyphosis after posterior decompression surgery, such as laminectomy or laminoplasty, is a common problem for spine surgeons. However, revision surgery for cervical deformity is definitely one of the most challenging areas for spine surgeons. There is no doubt that surgery for cervical deformity carries a high risk of surgery-related complications that might result in aggravation of healthrelated quality of life. Revision surgery is even more challenging. Hence, spine surgeons need to assess carefully the overall severity of the underlying condition before revision surgery, and try to refine the surgical strategy to secure safe surgery. Needless to say, spine surgeons are now facing great challenges in making spine surgery a much more reliable and convincing entity.

This is a review article examining the pharmacologic and regenerative cell therapy for spinal cord injury. A literature search during last 10 years were conducted using key words. Case reports, experimental (nonhuman) studies, papers other than English language were excluded. Up-to-date information on the pharmacologic and regenerative cell therapy for spinal cord injury was reviewed and statements were produced to reach a consensus in 2 separate consensus meeting of WFNS Spine Committee. The statements were voted and reached a consensus using Delphi method. Pharmacologic and regenerative cell therapy for spinal cord injury have long been an interest of many experimental and clinical researches. Clinical studies with methylpredinisolone have not shown clear cut benefit. Other drugs such as Rho inhibitor, minocycline, riluzole, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor have also been tried without significant benefits. Regenerative cell therapy using different types of stem cells, different inoculation techniques, and scaffolds have undergone many trials highlighting the efficacies of cells and their limitations. This review article summarizes the current knowledge on pharmacologic and regenerative cell therapy for spinal cord injury. Unfortunately, there is a need for further experimental and human trials to recommend effective pharmacologic and regenerative cell therapy.
Upper Cervical Spine Trauma: WFNS Spine Committee Recommendations

Craniovertebral junction (CVJ) trauma is a challenging clinical condition. Being a highly mobile functional unit at the junction of the skull and the vertebral column, traumatic events in this area may produce devastating neurological complications and death. Additionally, many of the CVJ traumatic injuries can be left undiagnosed or even raise difficult treatment dilemmas. We present a literature review in the format of recommendations on the diagnosis and management of different scenarios for upper cervical trauma and produce recommendations, which can be applicable to various areas of the globe.
