How Do Pelvic Parameters Correlate With Postoperative Outcomes When the Parameters Are Not Measured Preoperatively in Patients Undergoing Instrumented Lumbar Fusion?

Objective: A normal age-adjusted sagittal alignment is an important factor in achieving long-term functional results after lumbar spinal fusion. We aim to determine if the changes in spino-pelvic alignment (SPA) correlate with post-operative functional outcomes in patients who underwent instrumented lumbar spine surgery when the parameters were not measured before.

Method: A retrospective review of medical records from 2012 to 2016, and radiographs of the patients who underwent instrumented fusion of the lumbar spine.
