为探讨颈椎后纵韧带骨化症（OPLL）患者腰椎骨密度（BMD）与全身性骨质增生的关系，测定了OPLL患者腰椎BMD。侧位片与前后位片的BMD具有统计学意义的相关性，并且前者被认为比后者更准确地反映了状况，后者可能包括骨化的脊柱韧带。连续型和混合型OPLL患者的BMD高于节段型OPLL患者。OPLL合并其他脊柱韧带骨化的患者的BMD高于无骨化的患者。提示腰椎骨密度可反映全身骨质增生的趋势和骨化的进展。
Bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine in patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligaments of the cervical spine (OPLL) was measured to elucidate the relation of spinal ossification with systemic hyperostotic condition. BMD in the lateral projection had a statistically significant correlation with that in the anteroposterior projection, and the former was considered to reflect the condition more accurately than was the latter, which may include the ossified spinal ligaments. BMD of patients with continuous and mixed types of OPLL was higher than that of those with the segmental type. Patients with OPLL and ossification of the other spinal ligaments had higher BMDs than did those without ossification. These results suggest that the BMD of the lumbar spine may reflect the systemic hyperostotic tendency and advancement of the ossification.
