Proximal junctional kyphosis and failure—diagnosis, prevention, and treatment [PDF]

Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, 2016
Technical advancements have enabled the spinal deformity surgeon to correct severe spinal mal-alignment. However, proximal adjacent segment pathology (ASP) remains a significant issue. Examples include proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and proximal junctional failure (PJF).

A feasibility study of functional preservation in craniospinal irradiation with photon for pediatric medulloblastoma

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Background Craniospinal irradiation (CSI) is essential for treating pediatric medulloblastoma (MB) but causes significant long‐term toxicities. Existing dose‐reduction or partial‐sparing strategies improve neurocognitive outcomes but may compromise survival or fail to address other late effects.

Proximal Vertebral Body Fracture after 4-Level Fusion Using L1 as the Upper Instrumented Vertebra for Lumbar Degenerative Disease: Report of 2 Cases with Literature Review [PDF]

, 2013
Some cases with lumbar degenerative diseases require multi-level fusion surgeries. At our institute, 27 and 4 procedures of 3- and 4-level fusion were performed out of a total 672 posterior lumbar interfusions (PLIFs) on patients with lumbar degenerative

Scoliosis Surgery in a Patient With Advanced Friedreich's Ataxia—It Is Not Too Late

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 1, Page 200-203, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Friedreich's ataxia is a multisystem disorder with scoliosis being the most common non‐neurological manifestation. While scoliosis surgery is typically performed in adolescent, ambulatory patients, few data exist on surgical outcomes in patients with advanced disease.

CT based bone mineral density as a predictor of proximal junctional fractures

North American Spine Society Journal, 2022
Background: Proximal junctional fractures (PJFr) can be a catastrophic complication associated with adult spinal deformity surgery. Osteoporosis can be a major risk factor for the cause of PJFr. Recent studies suggest using surrogate computed tomography (

Lumbar Lateral Dislocation Fracture With Progressive Worsening of Trunk Tilt in Pisa Syndrome Associated With Parkinson′s Disease

Case Reports in Orthopedics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Introduction Parkinson′s disease rarely presents with Pisa syndrome, for which a patient may require corrective surgery because of trunk tilt. Herein, we report a case of lumbar dislocation fracture caused by minor trauma. The patient′s trunk tilt progressed, and neurological symptoms worsened, requiring surgical treatment.

Risk Factors for Proximal Junctional Fracture Following Fusion Surgery for Osteoporotic Vertebral Collapse with Delayed Neurological Deficits: A Retrospective Cohort Study of 403 Patients

Spine Surgery and Related Research, 2019
Introduction: Approximately 3% of osteoporotic vertebral fractures develop osteoporotic vertebral collapse (OVC) with neurological deficits, and such patients are recommended to be treated surgically.
