Radiographic parameters, including global kyphosis (GK), lumbar lordosis (LL), T1 spinopelvic inclination (T1SPI), sagittal vertical axis (SVA), T1 pelvic angle (TPA), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), and PI and LL mismatch (PI\u2013LL), were collected. The clinical outcome was evaluated using the Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) questionnaire and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). At the final follow-up, SVA\u2009&amp;gt;\u20095\u2005cm was regarded as sagittal imbalance, and a total ODI\u2009\u2264\u200920 or total SRS-22 score \u22654 was considered to indicate a good clinical outcome.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Seventy-seven patients with an average age of 37.4\u2009\u00b1\u20098.6 years were followed up for 29.4\u2009\u00b1\u20094.2 months.
