However, the mechanisms recruited for this pelvic rotation were not assessed. This study aims to analyze the relationship between spinopelvic and lower-extremity parameters and clarify the role of pelvic translation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n METHODS<\/jats:title>\n This is a retrospective study of patients with spinal deformity and full-body EOS images. Patients with only stenosis or low-back pain were excluded. Patients were grouped according to T-1 spinopelvic inclination (T1SPi): sagittal forward (forward, > 0.5\u00b0), neutral (\u22126.3\u00b0 to 0.5\u00b0), or backward (< \u22126.3\u00b0). Pelvic translation was quantified by pelvic shift (sagittal offset between the posterosuperior corner of the sacrum and anterior cortex of the distal tibia), hip extension was measured using the sacrofemoral angle (SFA; the angle formed by the middle of the sacral endplate and the bicoxofemoral axis and the line between the bicoxofemoral axis and the femoral axis), and chin-brow vertical angle (CBVA). Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to compare the parameters and correlation with the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n \n In total, 336 patients (71% female; mean age 57 years; mean body mass index 27 kg\/m\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n ) had mean T1SPi values of \u22128.8\u00b0, \u22123.5\u00b0, and 5.9\u00b0 in the backward, neutral, and forward groups, respectively. There were significant differences in the lower-extremity and spinopelvic parameters between T1SPi groups. The backward group had a normal lumbar lordosis (LL), negative SVA and pelvic shift, and the largest hip extension. Forward patients had a small LL and an increased SVA, with a large pelvic shift creating compensatory knee flexion. Significant correlations existed between lower-limb parameter and pelvic shift, pelvic tilt, T-1 pelvic angle, T1SPi, and sagittal vertical axis (0.3 < r < 0.8; p < 0.001). ODI was significantly correlated with knee flexion and pelvic shift.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n This is the first study to describe full-body alignment in a large population of patients with spinal pathologies. Furthermore, patients categorized based on T1SPi were found to have significant differences in the pelvic shift and lower-limb compensatory mechanisms. Correlations between lower-limb angles, pelvic shift, and ODI were identified. These differences in compensatory mechanisms should be considered when evaluating and planning surgical intervention for adult patients with spinal deformity.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2015.5.spine14989","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,13]],"date-time":"2015-11-13T10:01:55Z","timestamp":1447408915000},"page":"436-446","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":124,"title":["Role of pelvic translation and lower-extremity compensation to maintain gravity line position in spinal deformity"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Emmanuelle","family":"Ferrero","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York, New York;"},{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Robert Debre Hospital, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Barthelemy","family":"Liabaud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York, New York;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vincent","family":"Challier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York, New York;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Renaud","family":"Lafage","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York, New York;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bassel G.","family":"Diebo","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":"Shian","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York, New York;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean Marc","family":"Vital","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, CHU Pellegrin, Bordeaux; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brice","family":"Ilharreborde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Robert Debre Hospital, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Themistocles S.","family":"Protopsaltis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York, New York;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas J.","family":"Errico","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York, New York;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frank J.","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":"Virginie","family":"Lafage","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York, New York;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"Suppl 6","key":"b1-spine14989","series-title":"Eur Spine J","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"S834","DOI":"10.1007\/s00586-013-3030-z","article-title":"Compensatory mechanisms contributing to keep the sagittal balance of the spine","volume":"22","author":"Barrey","year":"2013"},{"issue":"Suppl 5","key":"b2-spine14989","series-title":"Eur Spine J","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"626","DOI":"10.1007\/s00586-011-1930-3","article-title":"Sagittal balance disorders in severe degenerative spine.
