Surgical Design Optimization of Proximal Junctional Kyphosis [PDF]
Journal of Healthcare Engineering, 2020 Purpose. The objective of this study was to construct a procedural planning tool to optimize the proximal junction angle (PJA) to prevent postoperative proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) for each scoliosis patient. Methods. Twelve patients (9 patients without PJK and 3 patients with PJK) who have been followed up for at least 2 years after surgery were
