Association between Sacral Slanting and Adjacent Structures in Patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Abstract

Sacral slanting can be thought to be a compensatory mechanism for large lumbar curves, which is accompanied by pelvic obliquity. In contrast, a congenitally slanted upper sacrum may contribute to scoliosis in some cases. LLD was not directly correlated with sacral slanting.
