An Anatomical and Pathological Classification of Thoracolumbar Adjacent Segment Disease [PDF]
, 2019 Structural failure of the spine adjacent to the level of a previous spinal fusion is commonly observed. It may be defined by the radiologic degree of adjacent deformity, often termed junctional level kyphosis, proximal junctional kyphosis or junctional ...
