Lumbopelvic parameters can be used to predict thoracic kyphosis in adolescents

ConclusionThis work validates the formula TK  = 2(PT + LL − PI) which allows the calculation of global TK as a function of PT, LL and PI. This calculated TK can be used as a target for sagittal correction of adolescents with spine deformities.Graphic abstractThese slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.
