The Impact of Radiographic Lower Limb-Spinal Length Proportion on Whole-Body Sagittal Alignment

Conclusion. Larger radiographic lower limb-spinal length proportion results in naturally accentuated spinal curves. These patients balance with a larger lumbar lordosis that is closer to the PI and a higher T1-slope which should be considered for spinal realignment. SL differs from GLA and should be separately assessed. Level of Evidence: 3
