The importance of proximal femoral angle on sagittal balance and quality of life in children and adolescents with high-grade lumbosacral spondylolisthesis

ConclusionA PFA ≥ 10° is proposed as a criterion to define abnormal PFA. PFA was increased in HGS and increased along with deteriorating sagittal balance and QOL. PFA is a clinically relevant parameter of sagittal balance, and can be useful in the evaluation and management of patients with HGS.
