The measure of radiographic pelvic and spinal parameters for sagittal balance analysis has
gained importance in reconstructive surgery of the spine and particularly in degenerative …

Degeneration of the intervertebral disc results in initial relative instability, hypermobility, and
hypertrophy of the facet joints, particularly at the superior articular process. This finally leads …

Introduction Sagittal balance is an independent predictor of clinical outcomes in spinal care.
Surgical treatment is challenging and jeopardized by frequent complications. Guidelines for …

Background The biomechanical relationship between the lumbar spine and the hip is well-
documented. It follows that fusing the lumbar spine would have implications on the …

Background The importance of pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis (PI-LL: PI minus LL)
mismatch is emphasized in long-segment fusion for adult spinal deformity; however, there …

Study Design: A retrospective review of prospectively collected radiographic and clinical
data. Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between cage subsidence …

Purpose Degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) is common degenerative spinal disease.
Recent studies highlighted relationship between DS and high pelvic incidence (PI) …

OBJECTIVE The object of this study was to determine the association between
postoperative sagittal spinopelvic alignment and patient-rated outcome measures following …

Background data The pelvic incidence (PI) was recognized as the key factor of the sagittal
balance of the spine. Its value was described own for each individual and unchanged during …

BACKGROUND: Annual incidence of symptomatic adjacent level disease (ALD) following
lumbar fusion surgery ranges from 0.6% to 3.9% per year. Sagittal malalignment may …
