Proximal Junctional Kyphosis and Proximal Junctional Failure
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2013Proximal junctional failure (PJF) should be distinguished from proximal junctional kyphosis, which is a recurrent deformity with limited clinical impact. PJF includes mechanical failure, and is a significant complication following adult spinal deformity surgery with potential for neurologic injury and increased need for surgical revision.

Revision surgery in proximal junctional kyphosis
European Spine Journal, 2020Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a relatively common complication following spinal deformity surgery that may require reoperation. Although isolating the incidence is highly variable, in part due to the inconsistency in how PJK is defined, previous studies have reported the incidence to be as high as 39% with revision surgery performed in up to 47%

The Risk of Proximal Junctional Kyphosis Decreases in Patients With Optimal Thoracic Kyphosis
Spine Deformity, 2019A retrospective study of surgical outcomes.This study aimed to investigate the preoperative risk factors for proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) in adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery.The cause of PJK is still unclear, although some risk factors have been reported in ASD surgery.A total of 185 patients who were followed up for more than two years and ...

Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a common complication following adult spinal deformity surgery. It is defined by two criteria: a proximal junctional sagittal Cobb angle (1) ≥ 10° and (2) at least 10° greater than the preoperative measurement. PJK is multifactorial in origin and likely stems from surgical, radiographic, and patient-related risk ...

Abstract Proximal Junctional Kyphosis (PJK) is defined as a proximal junctional sagittal Cobb angle of ≥ 10° or a proximal junctional sagittal Cobb angle at least 10° greater than the preoperative measurement. There are several risk factors for the development of PJK identified in literature using univariate analysis.
