Assessment

Primary outcomes

To clarify the relationship between lipid and protein dynamics within ligament tissue and the mechanisms of ossification in ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL).

Key secondary outcomes

To integrate radiologic findings (CT/MRI), serum lipid/adipokine markers, and exploratory genomic analyses to comprehensively evaluate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying OPLL progression.
