How Are We Affecting Spinopelvic Parameters in Patients with Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Purpose: It is well known that poor relationship between pelvic incidence and lumbar lordosis has an effect on quality of life for adult patients with spinal deformity. The effect of posterior fusion for AIS on spinopelvic parameters is still not clear. The purpose of this study was to examine the spinopelvic parameters in AIS patients who have undergone posterior spinal fusions according to their spinal fusion level. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 89 AIS patients, 31 males and 58 females, who underwent posterior spinal fusion (PSF) with instrumentation …
