Abstract: BACKGROUND Proximal junctional kyphosis is a known complication of posterior long-segment thoracolumbar fusion. Here, the biomechanical effectiveness of ligament tethers strengthening and vertebral body augmentation, in proximal junctional kyphosis prevention was explored using the finite… read more here.
