Investigation of spinopelvic sagittal alignment and its correlations in asymptomatic pediatric populations.

ABSTRACT: The sagittal alignment of the cervical spine and its relationship with spinopelvic parameters plays a crucial role in maintaining overall postural balance. This study aims to provide normative values for these parameters in asymptomatic pediatric subjects, aiding in the enhancement of treatment and evaluation strategies for spinal deformities and disorders. Conducted at the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University, this retrospective study included 307 asymptomatic pediatric volunteers aged 4-18 years, screened for scoliosis from January 2021 to July 2023. Participants underwent whole-length EOS examinations following a standard protocol. Radiographic measurements of cervical and spinopelvic parameters were taken, and statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software to assess vari
