Radiographic Factors of Proximal Junctional Failure According to Age Groups in Adult Spinal Deformity. [PDF]

open access: yesClin Orthop Surg, 2023
Patient age has been associated with the development of proximal junctional failure (PJF). The characteristics of adult spinal deformity (ASD) are considered different between younger and older age groups. We hypothesized that the radiographic risk factors of PJF would be different according to age groups.

Proximal Junctional Kyphosis: Diagnosis, Pathogenesis, and Treatment [PDF]

open access: yesAsian 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.

Optimization of Spinal Reconstructions for Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures to Prevent Proximal Junctional Complications: A Finite Element Study

open access: yesBioengineering, 2022
The management strategies of thoracolumbar (TL) burst fractures include posterior, anterior, and combined approaches. However, the rigid constructs pose a risk of proximal junctional failure.

Insertional torque and pullout strength of pedicle screws versus titanium suture Anchors: Towards development of a novel proximal junctional kyphosis prevention technique

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2022
Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a common and devastating complication after spinal deformity surgery with a high need for revision surgery. PJK often leads to poor patient outcomes and large societal costs, which has led to the development of ...

Ligament augmentation for prevention of proximal junctional kyphosis and proximal junctional failure in adult spinal deformity [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neurosurgery: Spine, 2018
OBJECTIVEProximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a well-recognized, yet incompletely defined, complication of adult spinal deformity surgery. There is no standardized definition for PJK, but most studies describe PJK as an increase in the proximal junctional angle (PJA) of greater than 10°–20°.

Risk Factors for Recurrent Proximal Junctional Failure Following Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery: Analysis of 60 Patients Undergoing Fusion Extension Surgery for Proximal Junctional Failure. [PDF]

open access: yesInt J Spine Surg
Despite numerous studies identifying risk factors for proximal junctional failure (PJF), risk factors for recurrent PJF (R-PJF) are still not well established. Therefore, we aimed to identify the risk factors for R-PJF following adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery.Among 479 patients who underwent ≥5-level fusion surgery for ASD, the focus was on those
