These parameters are as follows: for the pelvis: incidence angle, pelvis tilt, sacral slope; for the spine: point of inflexion, apex of lumbar lordosis, lumbar lordosis, spinal tilt at C7; for overall analysis: spino-sacral angle, which is an intrinsic parameter.

Level IV. Therapeutic study.

Infection and neurologic complications following PSO are relatively common, and frequently reported in the literature. The principal cause of mechanical complications, such as non-union or junctional kyphosis, was insufficient sagittal correction, characterized by post-operative FBI >10°. The risks of insufficient correction are greater in patients with higher pelvic incidence and those patients who required very high correction.

Retrospective study, level IV.
