Proximal junctional failure prevention in adult spinal deformity surgery utilizing interlaminar fixation constructs

Orthopedic Reviews, 2019
Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a common complication following fusion for Adult Spinal Deformity. PJK and proximal junctional failure (PJF) may lead to pain, neurological injury, reoperation, and increased healthcare costs.
