Anatomical sacral slope, a new pelvic parameter, is associated with lumbar lordosis and pelvic incidence in healthy Japanese women: A retrospective cross-sectional study.

CONCLUSION: a-SS was strongly correlated with PI. The correlation between a-SS and LL was equivalent to the correlation between PI and LL. Moreover, the ICC for a-SS was larger than that of PI. This study suggests that a-SS is a useful new pelvic anatomical parameter that can be used instead of PI. PMID: 31829115 [PubMed - in process]
