Abstract

BACKGROUND: The management of the cervical canal stenosis as a result of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is still evolving. Anterior and posterior approaches are still much in demand by the surgeons. In Japan, a posterior approach is more well-known to be used as the case OPLL is often on the populace. Single-door laminoplasty technique or â€œHirabayashiâ€ often used with either autograft or allograft, with or without an additional miniplate.

CASE PRESENTATION: In this case report, we would like to report the treatment of tetraparesis patients with â€œbasket laminoplastyâ€ using a special device with some advantages, not only providing stability of the lamina but also at the same time providing bone-graft container/basket for the benefit of the patient's bone fusion.

CONCLUSION: Basket laminoplasty device is an excellent choice for cervical OPLL. We believe the use of this device is very favourable for long-term patient outcome.
