Impact of Spino-Pelvic Parameters on the Prediction of Lumbar and Thoraco-Lumbar Segment Angles in the Supine Position

Background: The correction of malposition according to vertebral fractures is difficult because the alignment at the time before the fracture is unclear. Therefore, we investigate whether the spinal alignment can be determined by the spino-pelvic parameters. Methods: Pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic ti...

description Background: The correction of malposition according to vertebral fractures is difficult because the alignment at the time before the fracture is unclear. Therefore, we investigate whether the spinal alignment can be determined by the spino-pelvic parameters. Methods: Pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), adjacent endplate angles (EPA), age, sex, body weight, body size, BMI, and age were used to predict mono- and bisegmental EPA (mEPA, bEPA) in the supine position using linear regression models. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Medical Association of Saxony-Anhalt Germany on 20 August 2020, under number 46/20. Results: Using data from 287 patients, the prediction showed R<sup>2</sup> from 0.092 up to 0.972. The adjacent cranial and caudal EPA showed by far the most frequently significance in the prediction of all parameters used. Anthropometric and spino-pelvic parameters showed sparse impact, which was frequently in the lower lumbar regions. On average, a very good prediction was found. For two mEPA (L3/4 R<sup>2</sup> = 0.914, L4/5 R<sup>2</sup> = 0.953) and two bEPA (L3 R<sup>2</sup> = 0.899, L4 R<sup>2</sup> = 0.972), the R<sup>2</sup> was >0.8. However, the predicted EPA differed for individual patients, even in these very effective prediction models—roughly around ±10° as compared to the measured EPA. Conclusions: In general, the prediction showed good to perfect results. In the supine position, the spinopelvic and anthropometric parameters show sparse impact on the prediction of mEPA or bEPA.
