  • Title: Spontaneous stabilisation of postlaminectomy cervical kyphosis by anterior longitudinal ligament ossification.
    Author: Avadhani A, Shetty AP, Rajasekaran S.
    Journal: Singapore Med J; 2010 Apr; 51(4):e66-8. PubMed ID: 20505898.
    Abstract:
    Cervical laminectomy has been known to cause postlaminectomy kyphosis and instability, often necessitating extensive anterior and posterior procedures with instrumentation for the stabilisation and correction of the deformity. We report a case of spontaneous stabilisation of postlaminectomy cervical kyphosis by anterior longitudinal ossification in the absence of an ossified posterior longitudinal ligament, thus circumventing the need for surgical intervention.
