Hi...
I participated in a webinar this evening. One of the sessions was by Robert Hart of Portland, OR, who has been using VEPTR (titanium rib) implants to combat proximal junctional kyphosis. (VEPTR implant technology was developed for treating early onset scoliosis in very young children.) He has 15 patients so far, and no catastrophic failures. I was skeptical, but I have to say that the xrays look really good. Only time will tell if it's really a solution.
