INTRODUCTION Little data is available on the relationship between sagittal spinopelvic parameters and health related quality of life (HRQOL) in osteoporotic patients. The aim of this study was to identify relationships between spinopelvic parameters and HRQOL in osteoporosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS The patient and control groups comprised 138 osteoporotic patients and 40 controls. All underwent...

background: pelvic ring injuries and sacroiliac dislocations have significant impacts on patient’s quality of life. several techniques have been described for posterior pelvic fixation. the current study has been designed to evaluate the spinopelvic method of fixation for sacroiliac fractures and fracture-dislocations.   methods: between january 2006 and december 2014, 14 patients with sacroili...

Purpose: We investigated the relationships between patient factors, including obesity, osteopenia, and scoliosis, reliability of measures spinopelvic sagittal parameters using conventional X-radiography (Xp) slot-scanning Xp devices (EOS) examined differences in interobserver measurement them.

Study Design Retrospective analysis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Purpose This study aimed to investigate the influence of distinct distal fusion levels on spinopelvic parameters in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) who underwent posterior instrumentation and fusion surgery. Overview of Literature The distal fusion level selection in treatment of AIS is the one of mi...

BACKGROUND Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of pain and disability that results in considerable social and medical costs. Mechanics such as posture, alignment and orientation of the hips and the spinal column and the relationship between these factors have been implicated in the development of both hip and spine pathologies. This study aims to test the hypothesis if pelvic incidence var...
