Aim:

To establish whether there is a direct relationship between pelvic morphology and lumbar segmental angulation in the sagittal plane.

Methods:

40 lateral whole spine radiographs with normal sagittal profiles were reviewed. Pelvic incidence (PI), Lumbar Lordosis (LL), Thoracic Kyphosis (TK) and segmental angulation at each level from L1 to the sacrum were measured (from endplate to endplate) distinguishing the vertebral body and intervertebral disc contribution. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to analyse any relationship between pelvic parameters and segmental angulation.
