Cerebrospinal fluid leakage (CSFL) is one of the most common complications after posterior transarticular osteotomy and circumferential decompression (CD) for the ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) in the thoracic spine. Predicting CSFL preoperatively would be of great value to surgeons. The aim of this study was to discover the factors that can predict CSFL prior to CD and incorporate them into a predictive model.
