The operative results of aged patients with cervical myelopathy due to ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament were studied. Thirty-four cases consisting of 25 males and 9 females were discussed. Their age ranged from 65 to 81 years (average; 69 years old) at the time of operation.<br>Their overall results at discharge were not satisfactory when compared with those of non-aged patients, because of the long duration of myelopathy. Further more, long-term results were worse because of the lowered motivation, poor family background and accompanied other disease.<br>Based on our follow-up results, we propose that the operative therapy of aged patients with this desease must be performed quickly if the cervical myelopathy is clearly present.
