Different spino-pelvic parameters were evaluated on full spine X-rays, standing, then sitting straight.

After fusion, the segments adjacent to the instrumented section, adapt in flexion at lumbosacral and thoracolumbar junctions, i.e. just below and above (PSL). This might have mechanical implications for the occurrence of adjacent segment disease.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00264-022-05365-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,9]],"date-time":"2022-03-09T22:02:15Z","timestamp":1646863335000},"page":"1839-1846","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Pelvic and spinal postural changes between standing-sitting positions following lumbosacral fusion: a pilot study"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"46","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0593-3814","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas","family":"Borgeaud","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0463-6706","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jean-Charles","family":"Le Huec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4606-8855","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio","family":"Faundez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"5365_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"Baumgartner D, Zemp R, List R, Stoop M, Naxera J, Elsig JP, et al., (2012) The spinal curvature of three different sitting positions analysed in an open MRI scanner.
