Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Incidence, mode, and location of acute proximal junctional failures after surgical treatment of adult spinal deformity.
Multicenter, retrospective series. ⋯ APJFs were identified in 5.6% of patients undergoing surgical treatment of adult spinal deformity, with failures occurring primarily in the TL region of the spine. There is evidence that the mode of failure differs depending on the location of UIV, with TL failures more likely due to fracture and UT failures more likely due to soft-tissue failures.
