Boldface indicates statistical significance.
BMI, body mass index; SVA, sagittal vertical axis; CVA, coronal vertical axis; Cobb, coronal Cobb angle; LL, lumbar lordosis; PT, pelvic tilt; TK, thoracic kyphosis; LLIF, lateral lumbar interbody; PSO, pedicle subtraction osteotomy.
CVA and Cobb changes are absolute amounts of change. For example, if a patient tilted 5 mm on the left preoperatively, then tilted 3 mm on the right postoperatively, the CVA change is 8 mm.
