Radiological features, including pedicle height, width, transverse, and sagittal angle, as well as anterior vertebral heights (AVH) and posterior vertebral heights (PVH), were measured using T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study involved 88 patients: 46 in the DS group and 42 in the LS group. In the LS group, the AVH was significantly higher than the posterior height at L4 and L5 (L4 PVH\/AVH ratio 0.93 in LS vs. 0.96 in DS; L5 PVH\/AVH ratio 0.84 in LS vs. 0.92 in DS), and pedicles were more medially oriented (L4: 19.62\u00b0 in LS vs. 17.7\u00b0 in DS; L5: 28.92\u00b0 in LS vs. 26.47\u00b0 in DS). In addition, at L5, the pedicle height (10.67 mm in LS vs. 11.48 mm in DS) and width (13.56 mm in LS vs. 14.37 mm in DS) were smaller compared to the DS group.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Low-grade LS shows distinct radiological vertebral and pedicle anatomy compared to DS.
