Optimizing Surgical Strategies for Preventing Proximal Junctional Complications: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Operative Techniques in Adult Spinal Deformity
Surgical strategies such as tethering, hook fixation, and prophylactic vertebral augmentation may reduce the risk of PJK/PJF. Additionally, placing the UIV at or slightly above T10 may enhance junctional stability. Further prospective studies are needed to validate these findings and guide preventive strategies.
