Characteristics of sagittal spinopelvic alignment in Thai population: a cross-sectional study.

Background: The prevalence of spinal deformity is a significant health concern often associated with the aging process. It is primarily attributed to the thickening of spinal joints, ligament pathologies, or the narrowing of the spinal canal, leading to compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots, and subsequently causing musculoskeletal problems. When considering corrective surgery for adult spinal deformities, it is crucial for spine surgeons to take into account the standard values of sagittal spinopelvic alignment.
