description Study Design Cohort study. Purpose There is currently no published study that focuses on the spinal corrective surgery effects with cranial parameters in adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients. It is an important factor to measure since it plays a critical role in maintaining the line of sight. The objective is to determine the change in cranial parameters using the slope of McGregor’s line (McGS) after ASD surgery after 2 years of follow-up. Overview of Literature A study concluded that cervical spine alignment (C2–C7 lordosis) is strongly affected by thoracic kyphosis (TK). Another study showed that patients with ascending gaze had significantly more thoracolumbar malalignment. Methods This retrospective study includes 295 corrective surgery patients with ASD. Subjects were divided into two groups after propensity age matching analysis: cranial malalignment (McGS <−8 or >13) and normal cranial alignment (−8≤ McGS ≤13). Lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic tilt (PT), TK, cervical lordosis (CL), and sagittal vertical axis (SVA) were evaluated between the two groups. Results SVA (95–56 mm) and PT (34°–25°) decreased and LL (19°–41°) increased 2 years after surgery (p<0.05), but McGS (−1.1° to −0.5°) and CL (21°–19°) did not change. Conversely, in the group with cranial malalignment, SVA (120–64 mm), PT (35°–26°), and LL (12°–41°) showed similar results to the normal cranial parameter group 2 years after surgery, but in contrast, McGS (−13° to −2°) and CL (24°–18°) improved significantly. Conclusions Severe ASD adversely affects to maintain horizontal gaze but can be improved by spinal corrective surgery.
