BACKGROUND: Positive spinal regional and global sagittal malalignment has been
repeatedly shown to correlate with pain and disability in thoracolumbar fusion. OBJECTIVE …

Purpose In this article, we summarize our work on understanding the influence of cervical
sagittal malalignment on the mechanics of the cervical spine. Methods Biomechanical …

Background context Based on the previous studies, cervical lordosis (CL) is a parameter
influenced by thoracic kyphosis (TK); however, the correlations still remain unclear. Few …

Study Design. Prospective study. Objective. To analyze the effect of T1 slope on kyphotic
alignment change after cervical laminoplasty in patients with cervical myelopathy. Summary …

Study Design. Retrospective study. Objective. To assess the relationship between sagittal
alignment of the cervical spine and patient-reported health-related quality-of-life scores …

Study Design. Large cohort study of volunteers aged over 50. Objective. To investigate
influence of age and sex on cervical sagittal alignment among volunteers aged over 50 …

Object Sagittal spinopelvic malalignment is a significant cause of pain and disability in
patients with adult spinal deformity. Surgical correction of spinopelvic malalignment can …

OBJECTIVE Numerous studies have attempted to delineate the normative value for T1S− CL
