WSX, conventional whole spine X-ray; SVA, sagittal vertical axis; TPA, T1-pelvic angle; PI, pelvic incidence; LL, lumbar lordosis; PT, pelvic tilt; SS, sacral slope; SFA, sacrofemoral angle.

Descriptive data are presented as mean±standard deviation.

*p<0.05; Sagittal imbalanced patients had one of the following conditions: PI-LL >10°, SVA >5 cm, and PT >20° on WSX. Positive values signify an anterior position of the vertical plumb line with respect to the caudal landmark for translation measurements and kyphosis for angular measurements.
