The potential of proximal junctional kyphosis prevention using a novel tether pedicle screw construct: an in silico study comparing the influence of standard and dynamic techniques on adjacent-level range of motion and load pattern

CONCLUSIONS: A smoother motion discontinuity at the UIV can be achieved via implementation of a TPS strategy. This new technology shows favorable in silico mechanics for reducing the risk of PJK.PMID:38394650 | DOI:10.3171/2023.12.SPINE23792
