Multicenter Study
Relationships between lumbar lordosis correction and the change in global tilt (GT) in adult spinal deformity.
This study aimed to explore the relationships between lumbar lordosis (LL) correction and improvement of postoperative global sagittal alignment and to establish corresponding linear regressions to predict the change in global tilt (GT) based on the corrected LL following adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. ⋯ Surgical correction of LL could contribute to the restoration of global sagittal morphology following ASD surgery. These models were established to predict the changes in sagittal parameters, in particular △GT, determined by △LL, which has not been previously done and may help to customize a more precise correction plan for ASD patients.
