Popis: ABSTRACT Objective The primary objective of this study was to analyze the prevalence of PJK in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis submitted to posterior spinal arthrodesis with instrumentation. Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a frequent phenomenon that, due to its importance, began to be studied by several authors, who laid the foundations for the radiographic definition and possible risk factors for its occurrence after long spinal arthrodesis with instrumentation. Despite the large number of PJK studies, most were related to the occurrence of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, adult deformity and early-onset scoliosis, with few being targeted to patients with congenital and neuromuscular scoliosis. Methods In this study, data from electronic medical records of patients with neuromuscular scoliosis who underwent posterior arthrodesis with instrumentation between the years 2014 and 2016 were analyzed. Information on age, gender, pathology and radiographic measurements were extracted from this sample at the 2nd and 24th postoperative months. Results A total of 39 patients with neuromuscular scoliosis were analyzed. The sample was predominantly male (58.87%) and the mean age was 14.05 years. PJK occurred in 18 patients during the two years following surgery, with a prevalence of 46.15%. The incidence of PJK in the 2nd and 24th postoperative months was 23.1% and 30%, respectively. Conclusions A prevalence of PJK of 46.15% was found in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis treated surgically with posterior instrumentation after two years of follow-up, as compared to previous results .
