Management of Catastrophic Proximal Junctional Failure Following Spinal Deformity Correction in an Adult with Osteogenesis Imperfecta: Case Report and Technical Note.

Background: Proximal junctional failure (PJF) is a major and sometimes devastating problem following adult spinal deformity (ASD) correction surgery.

Surgical treatment of scoliosis in the presence of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) in the pediatric population is well described.

Predicting the need for surgical intervention in patients with spondylodiscitis: the Brighton Spondylodiscitis Score (BSDS).

Purpose: Spondylodiscitis represents a condition with significant heterogeneity. A significant proportion of patients are managed without surgical intervention, but there remains a group where surgery is mandated. The aim of our study was to create a scoring system to guide clinicians as to which patients with spondylodiscitis may require surgery.
