Radiographic Categorization of the Hip-spine Syndrome in the Setting of Hip Osteoarthritis and Sagittal Spinal Malalignment.

CONCLUSION: Our novel HiSS categorization used established classification methods and supported PT use to potentially improve the ability to discern HiSS types/pathologies in a subset of patients with HOA and spinal sagittal malalignment. HOA grade 3 to 4 with PT <15° are categorized as Hip type and those with PT >25° are Hip-Spine type with sagittal malalignment, which may impact acetabular arthroplasty component placement.
