(a) Uncompensated double curve. Here the pelvic obliquity exacerbates trunk shift created by the degenerative scoliotic curve. Double curve with high left pelvic side ipsilateral to the lower left apex lumbar curve and contralateral to the upper right apex lumbar curve. (b) Compensated double curve. The pelvic obliquity counteracts the effect of trunk shift that would be created by the degenerative scoliotic curve. Double curve with high left pelvic side contralateral to the lower right apex lumbar curve and ipsilateral to the upper left apex lumbar curve.
