Efficacy of Proximal Junctional Tethering in Spinal Fusion Surgery for Preventing Proximal Junctional Kyphosis and Proximal Junctional Failure: A Meta-analysis [PDF]

Neurospine
Objective Spinal fusion surgery is effective for treating various adult spinal deformities. However, spinal fusion surgery is associated with the risk of adjacent segment disease (ASD; 5%–30%), particularly proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and proximal

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.

Defining Clinically Relevant Proximal Junctional Kyphosis. [PDF]

Int J Spine Surg, 2023
Proximal junctional kyphosis and failure are not infrequent complications of adult spinal deformity reconstructions. Efforts to define proximal junctional kyphosis have ranged from expert opinions to statistical analyses of large databases. These approaches fail to recognize that proximal junctional kyphosis/failure/breakdown is likely a spectrum of ...

Patient Optimization for the Prevention of Proximal Junctional Kyphosis. [PDF]

Int J Spine Surg, 2023
Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and proximal junctional failure (PJF) are well-recognized challenges of surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD). Multiple risk factors have been identified for PJK/PJF, including osteoporosis, frailty, neurodegenerative disease, obesity, and smoking.

Prevention of Proximal Junctional Kyphosis Using Proximal Fixation Techniques. [PDF]

Int J Spine Surg, 2023
Adult spinal deformity (ASD) is a disorder characterized by abnormal curvature of the spine resulting from progressive degeneration of spinal elements. Although operative intervention for ASD is commonplace, it is associated with several complications, including proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and proximal junctional failure (PJF).

The influence of ligament biomechanics on proximal junctional kyphosis and failure in patients with adult spinal deformity [PDF]

JOR Spine, 2023
Purpose It is unknown whether the biomechanics of the posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) are impaired in individuals undergoing surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD).

Proximal Junctional Kyphosis Prevention Strategies Focused on Alignment. [PDF]

Int J Spine Surg, 2023
Adult spinal deformity (ASD) is a complex pathology associated with spinal malalignment in the coronal, sagittal, and axial planes. Proximal junction kyphosis (PJK) is a complication of ASD surgery, affecting 10%-48% of patients, and can result in pain and neurological deficit. It is defined radiographically as a greater than 10° Cobb angle between the
