The relationship between postoperative proximal junctional kyphosis and MRI-based pedicle bone quality scores in thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
The novel PBQ score is a reliable tool for predicting postoperative PJK in patients with thoracic AIS. Compared to the VBQ score, it has a better correlation with pedicle CT-HU values and PJA, as well as better predictive ability for PJK.
