Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the risk factors for proximal junctional kyphosis after the correction surgery of adult spinal deformity. Methods: Relevant studies were systematically retrieved from databases including Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Embase. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, literature screening, quality evaluation, and data extraction were conducted. Analysis was performed with Revman 5.3 software. Results: Sixteen studies with 2388 patients, covering 905 cases with proximal junctional kyphosis and 1483 cases without proximal junctional kyphosis, were included in the study. The high-risk factors for the development of proximal junctional kyphosis were found to be high body mass index, osteoporosis, severe fatty infiltration of paravertebral muscles, small functional area of paravertebral muscles, lumbar lordosis over-correction, lack of ligament reinforcement device at the proximal vertebrae and upper instrumented vertebra at the thoracolumbar segment, and pelvic fixation. The results were statistically significant. Conclusion: Evidence from this study has revealed that the independent risk factors for proximal junctional kyphosis complications after correction surgery of adult spinal deformity are high body mass index, osteoporosis, severe degeneration of paravertebral muscles, lumbar lordosis overcorrection, fixed fusion to the pelvis, and lack of ligament reinforcement device at the proximal vertebrae and upper instrumented vertebra at the thoracolumbar segment. Level of Evidence: Level IV, Therapeutic Study
期刊介绍:
Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica (AOTT) is an international, scientific, open access periodical published in accordance with independent, unbiased, and double-blinded peer-review principles. The journal is the official publication of the Turkish Association of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, and Turkish Society of Orthopaedics and Traumatology. It is published bimonthly in January, March, May, July, September, and November. The publication language of the journal is English.
The aim of the journal is to publish original studies of the highest scientific and clinical value in orthopedics, traumatology, and related disciplines. The scope of the journal includes but not limited to diagnostic, treatment, and prevention methods related to orthopedics and traumatology. Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica publishes clinical and basic research articles, case reports, personal clinical and technical notes, systematic reviews and meta-analyses and letters to the Editor. Proceedings of scientific meetings are also considered for publication.
The target audience of the journal includes healthcare professionals, physicians, and researchers who are interested or working in orthopedics and traumatology field, and related disciplines.
