The correction range of lumbosacral curve vertebral body tilt in degenerative scoliosis for achieving postoperative coronal balance.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To explore the relationship between lumbosacral curve vertebral body tilt correction and postoperative coronal balance in adult degenerative scoliosis to determine the ideal target values for the tilt correction.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective analysis of 144 patients who underwent surgery between January 2017 and December 2023. Patients were classified based on the preoperative Obeid classification and fixation segment length into Concave Long Segment (Concave-L, n = 41), Concave Short Segment (Concave-S, n = 33), Convex Long Segment (Convex-L, n = 39), and Convex Short Segment (Convex-S, n = 31). Changes in coronal and sagittal radiographic parameters and the correlation between the correction percentage of the most tilted vertebra (L4 or L5) and postoperativ
