Following revision surgery for proximal junctional kyphosis, patients with persistent poor sagittal alignment showed increased rates of recurrent proximal junctional kyphosis compared with patients who had abnormal lumbo-pelvic alignment corrected during the revision. These findings suggest addressing the root cause of surgical failure in addition to proximal extension of the fusion may be beneficial.
