Abstract
These numerical observations suggest that upper transverse process hooks constructs reduce the mobility gradient and cause less stress in the adjacent disc, which could potentially reduce adjacent segment disease and proximal junction kyphosis incidence without increasing the risk of fixation failure. Future work needs to assess the long-term effect of such constructs on clinical and functional outcomes.
