Introduction of orthopedic K-line.

In 2008, Dr. Takayuki Fujiyoshi from the Department of Orthopedics at Chiba University in Japan first proposed the concept of K-line for orthopedics. Fujiyoshi et al. proposed the concept of orthopedic K-line when studying the effects of different surgical methods for patients with cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, that is, the connection between the anterior and posterior midpoints of the spinal canal at the C2 and C7 levels. When the ossification is in front of the orthopedic K-line, posterior surgery can be selected. When the ossification is beyond the orthopedic K-line, the effect of simple posterior decompression surgery is not good. Taniyama et al. of Tokyo University of Medicine and Stomatology, Japan, revised the orthopedic K-line proposed by Fujiyoshi. The line connecting the midpoint of the spinal cord at the C2 and C7 level on the preoperative MRI T1 weighted image was used as the revised orthopedic K-line, and the front was measured at the same time. The shortest distance INTmin of the pressure object from the K line is used as a predictor.

Orthopedic K line (Kyphosis Line, K line) is the line connecting the midpoint of C2 and C7 spinal canal on the lateral X-ray of cervical spine.

If the OPLL range does not exceed the orthopedic K-line, it is called orthopedic K-line positive, K (+). If the OPLL range exceeds the orthopedic K-line, it is called orthopedic K-line negative, K (1).

In orthopedic K-line-negative patients, the spinal cord is insufficiently retracted to the dorsal side after posterior decompression, and the neurological symptoms are not improved well. For such patients, anterior decompression surgery is appropriate.

The curative effect of posterior decompression surgery for orthopedic K-line positive patients is significantly better than that for orthopedic K-line negative patients.

Orthopedic K-line can predict the effect of posterior surgery on the ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine.

If you belong to orthopedic K-line positive patients, the overall effect of posterior surgery is quite satisfactory for you.
