Coronal and sagittal spinopelvic alignment in the patients with unilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip: a prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

How the hip dysplasia affects the spinopelvic alignment in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) patients is unclear, but it is an essential part for the management of this disease. This study aimed to investigate the coronal and sagittal spinopelvic alignment and the correlations between the spinopelvic parameters and the extent of hip dysplasia or the low back pain in unilateral DDH patients.

Methods

From September 2016 to March 2021, 22 unilateral patients were enrolled in the DDH group with an average age of 43.6 years and 20 recruited healthy volunteers were assigned to the control group with an average age of 41.4 years. The Cobb angle, seventh cervical vertebra plumbline-central sacral vertical line (C7PL-CSVL), third lumbar vertebra inclination angle (L
