Increased SVA (>1.4 mm) and a small postoperative neutral C2-C7 angle (>-8.01°) 1 year after ACDF were associated with OPLL progression. It is important to be mindful of these factors during follow-up after ACDF, because additional surgical treatment may be necessary for OPLL progression due to neurological injury caused by minor trauma.
