EFFECTS OF SAGITTAL BALANCE DIFFERENCES ON SPONDYLOLISTHESIS.
Acta Ortopedica Brasileira 2019 March
Objectives: This study aimed to compare the lumbar lordosis (LL) and spinopelvic parameters of patients with stage 1-2 spondylolisthesis to those of the normal population and demonstrate the importance of these parameters in sagittal balance.
Methods: The lumbosacral parameters on the lateral radiographs of a total of 125 patients were retrospectively compared. Lumbosacral parameters including pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), lumbar lordosis angle (LLA), L5 incidence (L5I), L5 slope (L5S), and sacral table angle (STA) were compared between groups.
Results: Comparison of the parameters between groups revealed no sex-based differences (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: Abnormal sagittal spinopelvic parameters are commonly examined for their effects on the development of spondylolisthesis and should be used in routine practice. We found that the low SS values in our study, unlike those of other similar studies, may be a compensatory mechanism developed to reduce pain and maintain sagittal balance. Level of Evidence II; retrospective study.
