Table 1.

Pre and post-operative results for all measurements in the entire cohort, prior to sub grouping by pelvic balance

Variable Pre-op Post-op
Pelvic incidence (PI) 79° ± 11 78° ± 11
L5 Incidence (IL5)* 66° ± 21 51° ± 16
Lumbo-sacral angle (LSA)* 21° ± 19 4° ± 11
Grade (dome)* 67% ± 17 40% ± 21
Grade (flat)* 58% ± 18 28% ± 17
Sacral slope (SS)* 50° ± 11 53° ± 10
Pelvic tilt (PT)* 30° ± 10 26° ± 8
Lumbar lordosis (LL)* 77° ± 16 66° ± 13
Length of LL* 6 ± 2 5 ± 1
Thoracic kyphosis (TK) 38° ± 12 40° ± 10

Grade is expressed as percentage of displacement and provided for subjects with a flat and domed sacrum. Length of lumbar lordosis is determined by the number of vertebrae included in the lordotic segment

* Indicates a statistically significant difference (P < 0.01)
