Theoretically, the level and degree of resection via a PSO should impact the degree of sagittal plane correction in the setting of deformity. However, the quantitative effect of PSO level and focal angular change on postoperative spinopelvic parameters has not been well described. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between the level\/degree of PSO and changes in global sagittal balance and spinopelvic parameters.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>In this multicenter retrospective study, 70 patients (54 women and 16 men) underwent lumbar PSO surgery for spinal imbalance. Preoperative and postoperative free-standing sagittal radiographs were obtained and analyzed by regional curves (lumbar, thoracic, and thoracolumbar), pelvic parameters (pelvic incidence and pelvic tilt [PT]) and global balance (sagittal vertical axis [SVA] and T-1 spinopelvic inclination). Correlations between PSO parameters (level and degree of change in angle between the 2 adjacent vertebrae) and spinopelvic measurements were analyzed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Pedicle subtraction osteotomy distribution by level and degree of correction was as follows: L-1 (6 patients, 24\u00b0), L-2 (15 patients, 24\u00b0), L-3 (29 patients, 25\u00b0), and L-4 (20 patients, 22\u00b0). There was no significant difference in the focal correction achieved by PSO by level. All patients demonstrated changes in preoperative to postoperative parameters including increased lumbar lordosis (from 20\u00b0 to 49\u00b0, p &lt; 0.001), increased thoracic kyphosis (from 30\u00b0 to 38\u00b0, p &lt; 0.001), decreased SVA and T-1 spinopelvic inclination (from 122 to 34 mm, p &lt; 0.001 and from +3\u00b0 to \u22124\u00b0, p &lt; 0.001, respectively), and decreased PT (from 31\u00b0 to 23\u00b0, p &lt; 0.001). More caudal PSO was correlated with greater PT reduction (r = \u22120.410, p &lt; 0.05). No correlation was found between SVA correction and PSO location. The PSO degree was correlated with change in thoracic kyphosis (r = \u22120.474, p &lt; 0.001), lumbar lordosis (r = 0.667, p &lt; 0.001), sacral slope (r = 0.426, p &lt; 0.001), and PT (r = \u22120.358, p &lt; 0.005).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The degree of PSO resection correlates more with spinopelvic parameters (lumbar lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, PT, and sacral slope) than PSO level. More importantly, PSO level impacts postoperative PT correction but not SVA.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2010.9.spine10129","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,24]],"date-time":"2010-12-24T14:59:14Z","timestamp":1293202754000},"page":"184-191","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":119,"title":["Does vertebral level of pedicle subtraction osteotomy correlate with degree of spinopelvic parameter correction?"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Virginie","family":"Lafage","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York, New York;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frank","family":"Schwab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York, New York;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shaleen","family":"Vira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York, New York;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Hart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, Oregon;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Douglas","family":"Burton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, Kansas;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justin S.","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Virginia Health System, Charlottesville, Virginia;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Oheneba","family":"Boachie-Adjei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexis","family":"Shelokov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Baylor Scoliosis Center, Plano, Texas;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Hostin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Baylor Scoliosis Center, Plano, Texas;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher I.","family":"Shaffrey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Virginia Health System, Charlottesville, Virginia;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Munish","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, UC Davis Health System, Sacramento;
