Abstract:Study Design.
A retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients.
Objective.
To investigate the clinical value of thoracic tilt (TT) in characterizing thoracic compensation and predicting proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) in degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS).
Summary of Background Data.
Thoracic compensation has been shown to be associated with the development of PJK, while thoracic shape and morphology… Show more
