BACKGROUND
Surgical goals for congenital spinal deformity (CSD) include correction of deformity and prevention of progression without affecting neurological function. CSD has a higher incidence of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) alerts than other scoliosis types and a potential for risk of postoperative neurologi...

OBJECTIVE
The T4-L1 pelvic angle (T4-L1PA) has been proposed as a novel alignment target associated with mechanical complications in long-segment adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. However, its relationship to proximal junctional failure (PJF) and its relevance in shorter thoracolumbar constructs remain unclear. The...

STUDY DESIGN
Retrospective cohort.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the combined effect of lower lordotic arch (LLA) and thoracolumbar (T4-L1-hip axis) alignment correction on the ability to predict sacral slope (SS) (i.e. pelvic retroversion) in adult spinal deformity (ASD).
SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA
The Roussouly framework c...
