Introduction: Distal junctional kyphosis (DJK) and distal junctional failure (DJF) are known complications of adult multilevel spinal fusion surgery. Previous literature has extensively investigated proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and proximal junctional failure (PJF), but DJK and DJF are relatively under-studied. This study investigates the association between bone mineral density (BMD) and DJK/DJF via a Systematic Review (SR) and Meta-Analysis (MA).

- Occipitocervical arthrodesis is a surgical procedure used to treat serious neck issues that regular cervical fusion can't fix, and its significance has changed over time due to new techniques and technologies.
- A bibliometric analysis of literature on occipitocervical fusion was conducted, revealing trends in publications, citations, and topics of interest, highlighting the increase in studies related to Ehlers Danlos syndrome and ongoing concerns regarding dysphagia.
- Key findings indicated that the number of relevant publications peaked in 2020 but has since declined, with the USA, China, and Japan being the leading contributors to the research in this field.
