Revision surgery in proximal junctional kyphosis

Due to the multifactorial nature of this complication, further research is required to enhance our understanding and eradicate the pathology. Patient optimization is the principal guideline in not only PJK prevention, but overall postoperative complication prevention.Graphic abstractThese slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.
