DOI: 10.3389/fped.2024.1387841
Abstract: Objective The risk factors of PJK (proximal junctional kyphosis) related to AIS (adolescent idiopathic scoliosis) are inconsistent due to heterogeneity in study design, diagnostic criteria, and population. Therefore, the meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the… read more here.
