Global sagittal alignment in elderly patients with osteoporosis and its relationship with severity of vertebral fracture and quality of life

The number and severity of VCF had a negative influence on global sagittal balance, which indicates that poorer sagittal global alignment may imply worse quality of life and more severe VCF.
