Proximal Junctional Kyphosis: Diagnosis, Pathogenesis, and Treatment [PDF]
Asian Spine Journal, 2016 Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a common radiographic finding after long spinal fusion. A number of studies on the causes, risk factors, prevention, and treatment of PJK have been conducted. However, no clear definition of PJK has been established.
