Lumbar lordosis is one of the most important parts of the spine, which is of special importance due to its unique position and direct contact with the pelvis. The aim of this study was to combine the results of several studies and to evaluate the magnitude of the effect of different Lumbar lordotic angle correction programs through meta-analysis. This study has been developed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Statement. Four databases were searched for articles collection: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The key search terms were: "Lumbar Lordotic angle", "Lordosis", "Hyperlordosis", "Corrective exercise", and "Low back pain. "The articles included in our study were limited to original articles written only in English that met the following inclusion criteria: (1) participants with lumbar lordosis or hyperlordosis or low back pain; (2) different programs of corrective exercises were applied; (3) Lumbar lordotic angle used as outcome measures. Ten studies are included in our systematic review and meta-analysis. The effect size for the Lumbar lordotic angle outcome was (SMD = 0.550, 0.001, moderate effect size). Subgroup analysis for Lumbar lordotic angle: Subgroup Younger group (SMD = 0.640, 0.001), Subgroup Older group, (SMD = 0.520, 0.001). Subgroup Treatment (SMD = 0.527, 0.001), Subgroup No treatment (SMD = 0.577, = 0.002). This was the only outcome assessed in our analysis. The current meta-analysis indicates that different correction methods have a positive effect on subjects with lumbar lordosis or hyperlordosis. In the following research, we should try to determine which corrective methods have the best effects.

Meta-analysis of minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion versus oblique lumbar interbody fusion for treating lumbar degenerative diseases.
J Orthop Surg Res
December 2024
Department of Spine Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, 6 Shuangyong Road, Nanning, 530021, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China.
Objective: This study aims to perform a meta-analysis that integrates multiple literature sources to evaluate the clinical efficacy of oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) versus minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) for treating lumbar degenerative diseases (LDD).
Methods: A systematic search was conducted across various databases, including CNKI, VIP, WANFANG DATA, SinoMed, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science, for clinical comparative studies on OLIF and MIS-TLIF for treating LDD, covering the time frame from the inception of the databases to September 2024. Following PRISMA guidelines, studies were screened, assessed, and data were extracted rigorously.
Influence of a Lordotic Cage Profile on Global and Segmental Lordosis in the Context of Lumbar TLIF Surgeries: A Retrospective Radiological Analysis.
J Clin Med
November 2024
Orthopädie Rickert, 63500 Seligenstadt, Germany.
Cage implantation decompresses neural elements, stabilizes segments, and promotes fusion, with sagittal balance influenced by cage size, geometry, and position. This retrospective study compared the effects of lumbar interbody cages with 10° and 15° lordotic angles on global and segmental lordosis in patients undergoing transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF). Data from 215 patients who underwent 259 TLIF procedures between 2018 and 2022 were analyzed.

- The study aimed to analyze how changes in upper lumbar lordosis after spinal fusion affect the alignment of unfused lower lumbar segments in patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.
- A retrospective review was conducted on 158 patients who underwent posterior spinal fusion, focusing on various spinal measurements and using MATLAB for 3D calculations.
- Results indicated that increased upper lumbar lordosis influenced the lordotic shape of distal unfused segments, with varying impacts based on the specific levels of fusion, while overall sagittal alignment remained stable.
Variation in lumbar regional kyphosis between supine and standing positions. Implications for spinal fracture management.

Orthopaedic Surgery Department, Pitié-Salpêtrière University Hospital, Paris, France; Paris-Sorbonne University, Paris, France.
Purpose: The variation of lumbar lordosis between standing and supine position is poorly explored in literature. This study sought to analyze variation of lumbar regional angulations (RA) in healthy volunteers between standing and supine positions, according to pelvic incidence (PI).
Methods: This study included 171 patients who had an abdominal CT-scan in supine position and 879 healthy volunteers with full-body stereoradiographs.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares the static postures of 172 paired female and male athletes across identical sports, focusing on various postural measurements.
- Results indicate that while both genders share similarities in certain postural aspects like sagittal and coronal imbalances, female athletes typically present with a wider sacrum and more pronounced pelvic characteristics.
- Overall, the study concludes that female athletes generally have a more balanced spinal posture compared to their male counterparts.
