Correlation between Spino-Pelvic Alignments and Degenerative Spondylolisthesis: A Radiographic Study
Abstract: This cross - sectional observational study investigates the correlation between spinopelvic parameters-pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), and L1-S1 lordosis and degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) in 32 patients compared to a control group with low back pain but no DS. Conducted from August to December 2024 at the Department of Radiodiagnosis, MIMS, the study utilized digital radiography to measure these parameters, alongside demographic factors like BMI and sex. Results indicate significantly higher PI, PT, SS, and lordosis in DS patients (p < 0.05), with obesity and female predominance noted. These findings underscore the role of spinopelvic alignment in DS progression, offering insights for potential surgical interventions to restore sagittal balance.
