Incidence, Risk Factors, and Prevention Strategy for Proximal Junctional Kyphosis in Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery

Spine Surgery and Related Research, 2021
Introduction: Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is an acute complication of adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery and may require re-operation because of proximal junctional failure (PJF). PJK causes and prevention strategies remain unknown.

Proximal Junctional Kyphosis and Proximal Junctional Failure Following Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery [PDF]

Korean Journal of Spine, 2017
The purpose of this review is the current understanding of proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and proximal junctional failure (PJF) following adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. We carried out a systematic search of PubMed for literatures published up to September 2017 with "proximal junctional kyphosis," "proximal junctional failure," and "adult ...

Junctional Kyphosis after Long Segment Fusion

Global Spine Journal, 2016
Introduction The incidence of junctional kyphosis (JK) varies in the literature from 7% to 40%. We here present our experience with JK. The aim of this work is investigate the incidence of JK after long spinal segment fusion, to identify the underlying ...

Cumulative effects of lifelong systemic excess growth hormone on postcranial skeletal morphology in adult mice

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Our μCT‐based pilot study reveals size and shape disparity in the adult postcranial skeleton of growth‐hormone model (bGH) mice relative to wild‐type mice. bGH mice have larger and more sexually dimorphic bones, with a systemic radiodensity increase in bony sesamoids and associated, but typically uncalcified, soft tissues.

Early Versus Late Enzyme Replacement Therapy in Siblings With Morquio A Syndrome: Insights Into Therapeutic Timing

JIMD Reports, Volume 67, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with elosulfase alfa is the only approved treatment for mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA. This case report delineates the 5‐year outcomes of ERT in two Korean siblings with mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA, with the younger sibling initiating treatment at 0.8 years of age and the older one at 5.4 years.
