Proximal junctional failure (PJF) is a significant mechanical complication following corrective surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD), often resulting in structural failure at the uppermost instrumented vertebra and necessitating revision surgery....
AIMS: Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a prevalent and detrimental complication associated with corrective surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD). While existing predictive models have been able to predict PJK, they have lacked individualized ...
This review analyzes enabling technology in Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD), with a focus on optimizing safety and teaching. The prevalence of ASD is rising, and recent technological advancements can empower surgeons to improve outcomes for ASD patients...
AIMS: Adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery can reduce pain and disability. However, the actual surgical efficacy of ASD in doing so is far from desirable, with frequent complications and limited improvement in quality of life. The accurate prediction...
