The effect of posterior tethers on the biomechanics of proximal junctional kyphosis: The whole human finite element model analysis

Little is known about the effects of posterior tethers on the development of proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK). We evaluated the ability of posterior tethers to the proximal motion segment stiffness in long instrumented spinal instrumentation and fusion using a whole body human FE model. A series o...
