Study Design. Retrospective cohort study. Objective. The purpose of the present study was
to assess the impact of sarcopenia on the development of proximal junctional kyphosis …

OBJECTIVE Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a structural complication of spinal fusion
in 5%–61% of patients treated for adult spinal deformity. In nearly one-third of these cases …

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. Objectives: Sarcopenia is a risk factor for medical
complications following spine surgery. However, the role of sarcopenia as a risk factor for …

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze risk factors and avoidance techniques for
proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and proximal junctional failure (PJF) in the upper thoracic …

Study Design. Systematic review. Objective. To review the literature on proximal junctional
kyphosis (PJK) as a specific form for proximal adjacent segment pathology and report on the …

Abstract Background Context There are several reports regarding pathogeneses and risk
factors for proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) in adult spinal deformity surgery. However, the …

BACKGROUND Low bone mineral density (BMD) on dual energy x-ray absorptiometry
(DXA) is likely a risk factor for proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and proximal junctional …

Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a major mechanical complication after adult spinal
deformity (ASD) surgery, and is multifactorial. Osteopenia and sarcopenia are patient risk …

Objective Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is radiologic finding, and is defined as
kyphosis of> 10 at the proximal end of a construct. The aim of this study is to identify factors …

Purpose To analyse the incidence and risk factors associated with proximal junctional
kyphosis (PJK) following spinal fusion, we collect relative statistics from the articles on PJK …
