The influence of ligament biomechanics on proximal junctional kyphosis and failure in patients with adult spinal deformity

Abstract Purpose It is unknown whether the biomechanics of the posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) are impaired in individuals undergoing surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD). Characterizing these properties may improve our understanding of proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK; defined as proximal...
