Purpose: To conduct a more comprehensive study of sagittal alignment in patients with
thoracolumbar/lumbar (TL/L) degenerative kyphosis. Methods: A total of 133 consecutive …

Background: Thoracolumbar junction (TLJ) is the transitional area between the lower
thoracic spine and the upper lumbar spine. Vertebral compression fractures and proximal …

Objective To explore the relationship between different sagittal parameters and identify the
fitting formula of spino-pelvic parameters in patients with degenerative kyphosis (DK) …

Purpose The thoracolumbar junction (TLJ) has not been explored in regard to its
contribution to global sagittal alignment. This study aims to define novel sagittal parameters …

Study Design. Retrospective study of a consecutive patient series. Objectives. To review the
radiographic classification of patients with sagittal imbalance due to lumbar degenerative …

Purpose Thoracic kyphosis (TK) remained in the shadow of lumbar lordosis. Based on
Berthonnaud and Roussouly segmentation, TK is divided into two arches: upper TK (UTK) …

BACKGROUND Novel radiographic sagittal parameters of the thoracolumbar junction
orientation (TLJO, thoracolumbar slope [TLS] and thoracolumbar tilt [TLT]) have been …

Study Design. Retrospective and radiological analysis of spinopelvic sagittal alignment in
Chinese patients with thoracic and thoracolumbar kyphosis. Objective. To determine the …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Lumbar degenerative kyphosis (LDK) is characterized by
sagittal imbalance resulting from a loss of lumbar lordosis (LL). The pelvic incidence (PI) …

Purpose The aims of this study were to explore the correlations between thoracic kyphosis
(TK) and lumbar lordosis (LL) parameters and to build corresponding linear regressions to …
