Understanding Spinal Alignment: Key Insights Into Pediatric Spinopelvic Balance

This study provides an in-depth analysis of the sagittal alignment of the spine and pelvis in children and adolescents, offering valuable data for diagnosing and treating spinal deformities. Conducted on a sample of 98 participants aged 8-19 years, the research measures critical spinopelvic parameters such as pelvic incidence (PI), thoracic kyphosis (TK), and lumbar lordosis (LL), emphasizing their interrelations and importance in maintaining balance. The findings highlight the variability in spinal parameters among populations and underline the significance of PI in preoperative planning for spinal surgeries. Dive into the full study to explore how understanding these parameters can aid in the effective management of spinal health and surgical strategies.
