Correlation between the ossification of nuchal ligament and clinical cervical disorders

Correlation between the ossification of nuchal ligament and clinical cervical disorders

This is a correlation analysis between severity of the ossification of the nuchal ligament (ONL) and clinical cervical disorders including neck dysfunction, cervical malalignment, and morphologic changes of the cervical neural foramen (CNF). The clinical effects of ONL on active range of motion (ARO...
