In the debate regarding whether rigid or semirigid fixation is better for proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK)/adult spinal deformity (ASD) correction, this presentation posits that semirigid fixation is the better approach. For ASD correction, might is not right, and a rigid approach does not solve the problems associated with PJK.
