DOI: 10.21037/qims-2024-2619
Abstract: Background Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and proximal junctional failure (PJF) are common complications after scoliosis surgery. They often necessitate revision surgery, adversely affecting the patient's quality of life and incurring additional medical costs. Studies have… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/medicina60060860
Abstract: Background and Objectives: Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and failure (PJF), the most prevalent complications following long-segment thoracolumbar fusions for adult spinal deformity (ASD), remain lacking in defined preventive measures. We studied whether one of the… read more here.
