Optimizing Surgical Strategies for Preventing Proximal Junctional Complications: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Operative Techniques in Adult Spinal Deformity [PDF]

Neurospine
Objective Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and proximal junctional failure (PJF) are common complications following long-segment spinal fusion, particularly in adult spinal deformity (ASD) correction surgery.

Early Proximal Junctional Failure in Patients with Preoperative Sagittal Imbalance [PDF]

Evidence-Based Spine-Care Journal, 2013
Study Type Retrospective review. Introduction Sagittal imbalance has been associated with lower health-related quality of life outcomes, and restoration of imbalance is associated with improved outcomes.123 The long constructs used in adult spinal deformity have potential consequences such as proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK).

Transpedicular-Transdiscal Cement Augmentation Treatment of Thoracolumbar Fusion Proximal Junctional Failure. [PDF]

Int J Spine Surg, 2019
Long instrumented fusions for adult deformity have a proximal junction kyphosis rate between 20% and 40%. When symptomatic, proximal junctional failure (PJF) often requires revision surgery and is associated with significant morbidity. Vertebral cement augmentation (VCA) has been used for prophylaxis against PJF but has not been previously described as

Junctional Failures Following Long-Level Fusion to L5 in Elderly Patients: Impact of Spinopelvic Alignment and L5–S1 Disc Degeneration

Medicina
Background and Objectives: Long spinal fusion terminating at L5 remains controversial because of the risk of postoperative junctional failure. Although degeneration of the residual L5–S1 disc has been suggested as a contributing factor, the relative ...

Protective Factors of Preventing Proximal Junctional Kyphosis as the Most Common Complication of Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Neurosurgery, 2023
Background and Aim: This study aims to provide information about the common complications of adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery that requires revision surgery and proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) as the most common complication. We emphasized crucial

Incidence, Risk Factors, and Prevention Strategy for Proximal Junctional Kyphosis in Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery

Spine Surgery and Related Research, 2021
Introduction: Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is an acute complication of adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery and may require re-operation because of proximal junctional failure (PJF). PJK causes and prevention strategies remain unknown.

Sarcopenia Is an Independent Risk Factor for Proximal Junctional Disease Following Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery

Global Spine Journal, 2022
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. Objectives: Sarcopenia is a risk factor for medical complications following spine surgery. However, the role of sarcopenia as a risk factor for proximal junctional disease (PJD) remains undefined.

Genetic dissection of human ABCE1 in yeast reveals separable requirements for ribosome recycling and suppression of aberrant reinitiation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Human ABCE1 cannot functionally replace its yeast ortholog. Yeast–human chimera analysis identified NBD1 as a major interspecies barrier. Genetic screening yielded hABCE1 revertants that rescue yeast viability but fail to suppress aberrant translation reinitiation in the 3′ UTR.
