Insertional torque and pullout strength of pedicle screws versus titanium suture Anchors: Towards development of a novel proximal junctional kyphosis prevention technique

Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a common and devastating complication after spinal deformity surgery with a high need for revision surgery. PJK often leads to poor patient outcomes and large societal costs, which has led to the development of multiple prophylactic methods which have yet to eli...
