Effectiveness of posterior structures in the development of proximal junctional kyphosis following posterior instrumentation: A biomechanical study in a sheep spine model

open access: yesActa Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica, 2019
Introduction: Proximal junctional kyphosis – PJK has been defined by a 10 or greater increase in kyphosis at the proximal junction as measured by the Cobb angle from the caudal endplate of the uppermost instrumented vertebrae (UIV) to the cephalad ...

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

open access: yesOrthopedic 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.
