Proximal Junctional Kyphosis and Proximal Junctional Failure Following Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery. [PDF]
Korean J Spine, 2017 The purpose of this review is the current understanding of proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and proximal junctional failure (PJF) following adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. We carried out a systematic search of PubMed for literatures published up to September 2017 with "proximal junctional kyphosis," "proximal junctional failure," and "adult ...

Proximal junctional kyphosis and failure—diagnosis, prevention, and treatment [PDF]
Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, 2016 Technical advancements have enabled the spinal deformity surgeon to correct severe spinal mal-alignment. However, proximal adjacent segment pathology (ASP) remains a significant issue. Examples include proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and proximal junctional failure (PJF).
