Implant density reduction to avoid proximal junctional failure in adult spine surgery: Computer models and simulations
IDR is a promising strategy to lower PJF risk in high-risk spine revision cases, though its effectiveness depends on surgical and anatomical factors. This study provides an in-silico tool to support personalized surgical planning and guide future clinical trials aimed at reducing reoperations and healthcare costs.
