ABSTRACT

This article explains the significance of the sagittal balance of the spine and the associated spinopelvic parameters. Here, the parameters related to spinal sagittal balance are the C7 plumb line, gravity line, pelvic incidence, sacral slope, and pelvic tilt angle. Degenerative spondylolisthesis, isthmic spondylolisthesis, lumbar disc herniation, pedicle subtraction osteotomy and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) were evaluated as clinical manifestations, with spinopelvic parameters.

Keywords:
Sagittal balance, spinopelvic parameters, pelvic tilt, sacral slope, pelvic inclination.
