Biomechanical Effects of Proximal Polyetheretherketone Rod Extension on the Upper Instrumented and Adjacent Levels in a Human Long-Segment Construct: A Cadaveric Model

OBJECTIVE: The high mechanical stress zone at the sudden transition from a rigid to flexible region is involved in proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) physiopathology. We evaluated the biomechanical performance of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) rods used as a nontraditional long semirigid transition pha...
