Join Drs. Zeeshan Sardar and Munish Gupta as they host Drs. Serena Hu and Alex Tuchman for a case-based discussion on revision surgery for proximal junctional kyphosis and proximal junctional failure. This session will focus on the challenging decision-making required when a previously reconstructed deformity patient develops junctional breakdown, progressive deformity, neurologic compromise, or disabling pain.

Key discussion points include:

• When to Revise PJK/PJF?
• How Far Proximally to Extend?
• Revision Alignment Strategy
• Bone Failure Versus Soft-Tissue Failure
• Preventing the Next Failure
• Addressing the Neurological issues

This interactive webinar will highlight case based surgical decision-making, technical pearls, complications to avoid, and strategies to achieve durable revision alignment in one of the most difficult complications after adult spinal deformity surgery.
