It has been shown [1] that pelvic incidence (sacral slope + pelvic tilt) can be used as a proxy to determine the ability of the pelvis to accommodate changes in sagittal balance. Individuals have varied pelvic incidence and thus may adapt differently degenerative and/or iatrrogenic to changes that occur in the axial spine. This is a case report in which surgical changes t ...[more]
