Impact of Adjacent Muscular Anatomic Preservation on Proximal Junctional Kyphosis and Failure

World Neurosurgery
Surgical intervention is a cornerstone of adult spinal deformity (ASD) management. However, there remain burdens from complications, including proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and proximal junctional failure (PJF). Posterior anatomic preservation at the uppermost instrumented vertebra has emerged as an accessible approach to potentially reduce PJK ...

Effectiveness of Hybrid Surgery Using Polyetheretherketone Rods for Preventing Proximal Junctional Kyphosis and Failure After Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery: Biomechanical Evaluation

Scientific Reports
Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and proximal junctional failure (PJF) are common complications of adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. Hybrid fixation techniques have emerged as a potential solution to mitigate this risk.
