CT based bone mineral density as a predictor of proximal junctional fractures

Background: Proximal junctional fractures (PJFr) can be a catastrophic complication associated with adult spinal deformity surgery. Osteoporosis can be a major risk factor for the cause of PJFr. Recent studies suggest using surrogate computed tomography (CT) scans in place of spinal dual-energy x-ra...
