Proximal Junctional Kyphosis and Proximal Junctional Failure
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2013Proximal junctional failure (PJF) should be distinguished from proximal junctional kyphosis, which is a recurrent deformity with limited clinical impact. PJF includes mechanical failure, and is a significant complication following adult spinal deformity surgery with potential for neurologic injury and increased need for surgical revision.

Proximal Junctional Kyphosis and Failure: Strategies for Prevention
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2023Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and proximal junctional failure/fractures (PJF) are common complications following long-segment posterior instrumented fusions for adult spinal deformity. As progression to PJF involves clinical consequences for patients and requires costly revisions that may undermine the utility of surgery and are ultimately ...

Proximal junctional kyphosis and failure—diagnosis, prevention, and treatment [PDF]
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).

Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a well-recognized complication following surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD); however, definitions for PJK and its clinical implications can significantly vary by study. This study compares multiple definitions of PJK and describes incidence and clinical significance by definition.From 2014 to 2019, patients ...

Acute proximal junctional failure in patients with preoperative sagittal imbalance
Spine Journal, 2015Proximal junctional failure (PJF) is a recognized complication of spinal deformity surgery. Acute PJF (APJF) has recently been demonstrated to be 5.6% in the adult spinal deformity (ASD) population. The incidence and rate of return to the operating room for APJF have not been specifically investigated in individuals with sagittal imbalance.The purpose ...

Proximal junctional failure (PJF) is considered to be one of the most serious complications after correction surgery with a long construct for adult spinal deformity. Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) was first defined as an angle between the lower endplate of the uppermost instrumented vertebra (UIV) and the upper endplate of UIV+2 of 10 degrees or ...
