Estimation of proximal junctional failure and associated risk factors in adult spine deformity surgery: an observational study from a single institution

In this study, the PJF rate was 32%, of which 67% of the patients underwent reoperation. Postoperative PJA and TK changes and the use of proximal tethers were significantly associated with PJF.
