Although the clinical relevance of isolated PJK is unclear, PJK can progress to symptomatic proximal junctional failures which requires a large revision surgery. Currently, post-operative bracing with a thoracolumbosacral orthosis (TLSO) is common practice after spinal deformity surgery, however the efficacy of this in preventing PJK is unknown. This multi-center randomized control trial identified 84 patients undergoing thoracolumbosacral fusion for ASD and plans to study the efficacy of a novel post-operative TLSO in preventing the development of PJK as defined by the proximal junctional angle on 6-month post-operative X-rays.",[127,128,129],"Proximal Junctional Kyphosis","Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery","Thoracolumbosacral Orthosis","2026-02-11",{"date":132,"type":133},"2026-02-13","ACTUAL",{"date":135,"type":133},"2024-12-02",{"date":137,"type":121},"2026-12",{"name":5,"class":6},6]
