Proximal Junctional Kyphosis in Adult Degenerative Scoliosis - Does the Solution Still Elude Us?
Proximal functional kyphosis (PJK) is a common complication (26-39%) following multilevel instrumented fusion for spinal deformities. It is defined as a focal segmental kyphosis of more than 10 degrees between upper instrumented vertebra (UIV) and 2 levels cranial to UIV (UIV+2); and a focal increase in kyphosis of more than 10 degrees between UIV and UIV+2 [1]. Although the clinical impact of ...
متن کاملProximal Junctional Kyphosis in Early Onset Scoliosis
In adults and adolescents, proximal junctional failures above deformity constructs have been well established with different risk factors identified; however, the incidence, nature and clinical significance of this kyphosis remains unclear. Several reports in the literature have shed light on PJK in adults and adolescents with variable definition, incidence, prevalence, acuteness, risk factors,...
متن کاملProximal Junctional Kyphosis and Proximal Junctional Failure Following Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery
The purpose of this review is the current understanding of proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and proximal junctional failure (PJF) following adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. We carried out a systematic search of PubMed for literatures published up to September 2017 with "proximal junctional kyphosis," "proximal junctional failure," and "adult spinal deformity" as search terms. A total of ...
متن کاملProximal junctional kyphosis in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis following segmental posterior spinal instrumentation and fusion minimum 2 years follow-up
Abstract Background: To evaluate proximal junctional segment changes in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis(AIS) the posterior spinal fusion and also instrumentation also and finding of probable risk factors, were all considered in this study. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed radiographs of 121 consecutive patients who underwent posterior spinal fusion for AIS from T3 or below, with...
متن کاملRadiological Analysis of Thoracolumbar Junctional Degenerative Kyphosis in Patients with Lumbar Degenerative Kyphosis
BACKGROUND Thoracolumbar junction (TLJ) is the transitional area between the lower thoracic spine and the upper lumbar spine. Vertebral compression fractures and proximal junctional kyphosis following spine surgery often occur in this area. Therefore, the study of development and mechanisms of thoracolumbar junctional degeneration is important for planning surgical management. This study aimed ...
