Directionality of Lumbosacral Fractional Curve Relative to C7 Plumb Line, A Novel Index Associated with Postoperative Coronal Imbalance in Patients with Degenerative Lumbar Scoliosis

Abstract

Directionality of fractional curve relative to C7 PL was associated with postoperative coronal imbalance in DLS patients. In addition to type C, consistency pattern might be an independent risk factor for postoperative coronal imbalance.Level of Evidence: 3.
