The patients were divided by level of PSO (L2, L3, L4, and L5) and compared with respect to demographic and surgical data, sagittal parameters, GAP scores, and mechanical complications requiring revision operations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>152 patients (average age 64.4\u2009\u00b1\u200910.6\u00a0years, average follow-up 9.0\u2009\u00b1\u20094.1\u00a0years) were included for analysis. L3 (40.8%) and L4 (45.4%) PSOs were more common than L2 (4.6%) and L5 (9.2%) PSOs. Average pre-op GAP scores (9.8\u2009\u00b1\u20092.8) were similar and improved significantly for all L-PSO levels, although post-op GAP scores (7.1\u2009\u00b1\u20092.2) remained \u201cdisproportioned\u201d for all L-PSO levels. Post-op Lumbar Distribution Index (LDI) scores were significantly better for lower PSOs (L4\u2009+\u2009L5) given better improvement of L4-S1 lordosis. The revisions for mechanical failures were higher in L2 and L3 PSOs.
