Abstract:BACKGROUND: Distal junctional kyphosis (DJK) remains a primary concern for surgeons performing cervical deformity (CD) surgery. Many times post-operative complications from CD surgeries render patients with worse recovery profiles than their peers. It is important to understand DJK recovery profiles following CD surgery patients.
PURPOSE: To identify if DJK patients successfully recover from treatment/reoperation
STUDY DESIGN/SETTING: Retrospective review of prospectively collected database
PATIENT SAMPLE: … Show more
