Implication

Retrospective analysis links MRI bone quality scores with postoperative outcomes in thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients, suggesting predictive value for PJK.

Key Points

Higher proximal junctional kyphosis rates correlate with lower pedicle bone quality scores in thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients, indicating a predictive relationship.
Significant correlations were noted between PBQ and VBQ scores with pedicle Hounsfield unit values and proximal junctional angle, with p-values less than 0.001.
This retrospective study involved 181 adolescents, revealing that the PBQ score had an 86.3% accuracy in predicting proximal junctional kyphosis, outperforming the VBQ score with 79.2%.
The results highlight the importance of the novel PBQ scoring system as a reliable tool for assessing bone quality and predicting complications following spine surgery.
