The Relationship between the Hounsfield Units Value of the Upper Instrumented Vertebra and the Severity of Proximal Junctional Fracture after Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery

The Relationship between the Hounsfield Units Value of the Upper Instrumented Vertebra and the Severity of Proximal Junctional Fracture after Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery

<i>Background and Objectives</i>: In this retrospective cohort study, we investigate associations between the Hounsfield units (HU) value of upper instrumented vertebra (UIV) and proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. <i>Materials and Methods...
