Objective The aims of this retrospective cohort study were to 1) identify new alignment risk
factors for proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) in adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients with …

OBJECTIVE Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is, in part, due to altered segmental
biomechanics at the junction of rigid instrumented spine and relatively hypermobile non …

OBJECTIVE Optimal patient selection for upper-thoracic (UT) versus lower-thoracic (LT)
fusion during adult spinal deformity (ASD) correction is challenging. Radiographic and …

OBJECTIVE The authors of this study sought to evaluate the predictive role of global sagittal
alignment and upper instrumented vertebra (UIV) level in symptomatic proximal junctional …

Objective To train and validate an algorithm mimicking decision making of experienced
surgeons regarding upper instrumented vertebra (UIV) selection in surgical correction of …

Spinal alignment is essential to a well-functioning musculoskeletal system. Normal standing
orientation as defined by Dubousset 1 is with the skull positioned roughly over the femoral …

Study Design: Consecutively collected cases. Objective: To determine if a machine-learning
(ML) program can accurately predict the postoperative thoracic kyphosis through the …

BACKGROUND Novel radiographic sagittal parameters of the thoracolumbar junction
orientation (TLJO, thoracolumbar slope [TLS] and thoracolumbar tilt [TLT]) have been …
