Improvement in gait pattern and its relationship with preoperative pelvic compensation after surgery in patients with sagittal plane deformity
Spine Dec 16, 2020
Kim HJ, Park SM, Kwon OS, et al. - A prospective observational study was conducted to evaluate the improvement in gait parameters after surgery and if corrective surgery for sagittal imbalance would be influenced by preoperative pelvic compensation. Researchers included a sum of 32 individuals who were scheduled to undergo corrective surgery for sagittal plane deformity and were followed-up for 1 year after surgery. They evaluated radiological parameters on biplanar full-body imaging. The data exhibited that in patients with sagittal plane deformity, preoperative abnormal stooping gait, and progressive worsening of sagittal imbalance improved after corrective surgery. This study’s findings revealed that individuals with preoperative dynamic sagittal imbalance could have similar surgical results to those without it after corrective surgery.
