Proximal Junctional Kyphosis in Early Onset Scoliosis
نویسنده
چکیده
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, clinical significance and the need for revision surgery. Moreover, it followed diverse primary pathologies treated with different surgical techniques using variable types of fusion instrumentation.

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...

The present study assessed the advantages and disadvantages of growth-friendly spinal instrumentation surgery for early-onset scoliosis in 17 patients who underwent this surgery with a minimum 2-year follow-up. The mean number of lengthening procedures was three, initial age at which surgery was performed was 108.1 ± 30.2 months, and follow-up duration was 40.6 ± 16.6 months. Spinal height (T1-...
