Special type of distal junctional failure exhibits pelvic incidence changes: sacroiliac joint-related pain following lumbar spine surgery.

ABSTRACT:

This study sought to compare changes in the sagittal parameters of different patients before and after thoracolumbar spine surgery, the relationship between PI change and sacroiliac joint pain (SIJP) after surgery was clarified, and the correlation between PI change and sacroiliac joint (SIJ) activity was verified.

Methods

This study retrospectively analyzed the data of patients who underwent thoracolumbar fusion at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital from January 2019 to June 2021. The spinal and pelvic parameters [including pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), PI, lumbar lordosis (LL) angle, etc.] of 409 patients with standard standing lat
