Abstract
STUDY DESIGN National cross-sectional study. OBJECTIVE Thoracic kyphosis (TK) is related to sagittal parameters as pelvic tilt (PT), lumbar lordosis (LL) and pelvic incidence (PI). The equation TK = 2 (PT+LL-PI) was validated for adolescents. The purpose of this study was to investigate if this equation correctly predicts TK regardless of age. METHODS Sagittal alignment parameters were assessed on full spine radiographs of 2599 individuals without spine pathology (1488 females, 1111 males). Calculated TK (CTK) = 2 (PT+LL-PI) and measured TK (MTK) were compared by calculating the gap and using a linear regression between both parameters. Subgroup analyses were performed for gender, age, TK groups (≤20°, 21°-40°, 41°-60°, >60°), and PI groups (<45°, 45°-60°, >60°). RESULTS Average values in the total population were: MTK 45.0°, CTK 36.9°. Average TK gap was 8.1°, 5.2° in females (intercept 11.7, slope .61) and 11.9° in males (intercept 7.1, slope .58). The mean gap was 3.6° for 15-34 years, 5.7° under 15 years and it increased progressively after 35 years with a maximum of 19.9° over 80 years. The gap also increased with the amount of MTK: -3.5° for TK<20° up to 17.3° for TK >60°. Differences in gaps were minor between PI groups. The intercept was smallest and slopes >.6 for PI <45° and TK ≤20°. CONCLUSION The formula TK=2 (PT+LL-PI) yielded moderate accuracy for adolescents and young adults, but did not fit for over 35 years and under 15. The amount and variance in TK increased in elderly subjects, which made the formula less accurate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT The social and technological mutation of our contemporary period disrupts the traditional dyad that prevails in the relationship between physicians and patients. PURPOSE The solicitation of a second opinion by the patient may potentially alter this dyad and degrade the mutual trust between the stakeholders concerned. The doctor-patient relationship has often been studied from the patient's perspective, but data are scarce from the spine surgeon's point of view. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING This qualitative study used the grounded theory approach, an inductive methodology emphasizing field data and rejecting predetermined assumptions. PATIENT SAMPLE We interviewed spine surgeons of different ages, experiences, and practice locations. We initially contacted 30 practitioners, but the final number (24 interviews; 11 orthopedists and 13 neurosurgeons) was determined by data saturation (the point at which no new topics appeared). OUTCOME MEASURES Themes and subthemes were analyzed using semistructured interviews until saturation was reached. METHODS Data were collected through individual interviews, independently analyzed thematically using specialized software, and triangulated by three researchers (an anthropologist, psychiatrist, and neurosurgeon). RESULTS Index surgeons were defined when their patients went for a second opinion and recourse surgeons were defined as surgeons who were asked for a second opinion. Data analysis identified five overarching themes based on recurring elements in the interviews: (1) analysis of the patient's motivations for seeking a second opinion; (2) impaired trust and disloyalty; (3) ego, authority, and surgeon image; (4) management of a consultation recourse (measurement and ethics); and (5) the second opinion as an avoidance strategy. Despite the inherent asymmetry in the doctor-patient relationship, surgeons and patients share two symmetrical continua according to their perspective (professional or consumerist), involving power and control on the one hand and loyalty and autonomy on the other. These shared elements can be found in index consultations (seeking high-level care/respecting trust/closing the loyalty gap/managing disengagement) and referral consultations (objective and independent advice/trusting of the index advice/avoiding negative and anxiety-provoking situations). CONCLUSIONS The second opinion often has a negative connotation with spine surgeons, who see it as a breach of loyalty and trust, without neglecting ego injury in their relationship with the patient. A paradigm shift would allow the second opinion to be perceived as a valuable resource that broadens the physician-patient relationship and optimizes the shared surgical decision-making process.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Descriptive radiographic analysis of a prospective multi-center database. OBJECTIVE This study aims to provide normative values of spinopelvic parameters and their correlations according to age and pelvic incidence (PI) of subjects without spinal deformity. METHODS After Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, 1540 full spine radiographs were analyzed. Subjects were divided into 3 groups of PI: low PI < 45°, intermediate PI 45-60°, high PI > 60°, and then stratified by age (20-34, 35-49, 50-64, > 65 Y.O). Pelvic and spinal parameters were measured. Statistical analysis between parameters was performed using Bayesian inference and correlation. RESULTS Mean age was 53.5 years (845 females, 695 males, range 20-93 years).In low PI group, lumbar lordosis (LL) decrease was mainly observed in the 2 younger age groups.In medium and high PI groups, loss of lordosis was linear during aging and occurred mainly on the distal arch of lordosis. Moderate PI group had a stable lordosis apex and thoracolumbar inflection point. High PI group had a stable thoracolumbar inflection point and a more distal lordosis apex in elderly subjects.For all subjects, kyphosis and pelvic tilt (PT) increased with age.There was a constant chain of correlation between PI and age groups. Proximal lumbar lordosis (PLL) was correlated with kyphosis and sagittal vertical axis (SVA C7), while the distal lumbar lordosis (DLL) was correlated with PI and PT. CONCLUSION This study provides a detailed repository of sagittal spinopelvic parameters normative values with detailed analysis of segmental kyphosis and lordosis distribution according to gender, age, and PI.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cross-sectional study. OBJECTIVE The aim was to describe existing global sagittal alignment parameters across ages and to analyze differences according to gender and pelvic incidence (PI). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Variability with age has been reported. It remains unclear how gender and spinopelvic morphology could additionally influence global alignment parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS Radiographs of 2599 individuals (5-93 y) were analyzed. Translation parameters were: Sagittal Vertical Axis (SVA)-C7, SVA-C2, SVA-Center Acoustic Meatus (CAM), C7/Sacrofemoral Distance (SFD) ratio. Inclination parameters were: C7-Vertical Tilt (VT), T1-VT and T9-VT, Odontoid-Hip Axis (OD-HA), OD-CAM. Pelvic compensation parameters were: T1-Pelvic Angle (TPA), Global Tilt (GT), Spino-Sacral Angle (SSA). Global sagittal alignment (GSA) was considered among formulae. The distribution of parameters was analyzed using a Bayesian inference. Correlations with spinopelvic parameters were investigated. RESULTS SVA-C7, SVA-C2, SVA-CAM were larger in males and high PI, and increased significantly after 50 years (Pr>0.9999). C7/SFD decreased during growth and was larger in low PI (Pr=0.951). There was no correlation with spinopelvic parameters. Age-related variations of inclination parameters were nonsignificant. T1-VT and T9-VT increased with PI and were significantly larger in high PI (Pr>0.95). C7-VT was significantly larger in low PI (Pr>0.9999). OD-HA and OD-CAM were constant and increased after 80 years. TPA and GT increased with PI (Pr>0.9999) and age after 35 years (Pr>0.9999). SSA decreased nonsignificantly after 50 years. TPA correlated with PI (ρ=0.6130) and pelvic tilt (PT) (ρ=0.8375). GT correlated with PI (ρ=0.5961) and PT (ρ=0.8996). SSA correlated with sacral slope (ρ=0.9026). GSA was larger in high PI (Pr>0.9999) and increased after 35 years (Pr>0.9999). GSA correlated with PT (ρ=0.7732). CONCLUSION Translation parameters increase with age, more prominently in males and high PI. Variations of inclination parameters are smaller. Pelvic compensation parameters and GSA increase with age and are closely related to PT and spinopelvic morphology. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited literature evaluating the impact of isolated cannabis use on outcomes for patients following spinal surgery. This study sought to compare 90-day complication, 90-day readmission, as well as 2-year revision rates between baseline cannabis users and non-users following thoracolumbar spinal fusion (TLF) for adult spinal deformity (ASD). METHODS The New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) database was queried between January 2009 and September 2013 to identify all patients who underwent TLF for ASD. Inclusion criteria were age ≥18 years and either minimum 90-day (for complications and readmissions) or 2-year (for revisions) follow-up surveillance. Cohorts were created and propensity score-matched based on presence or absence of isolated baseline cannabis use. Baseline demographics, hospital-related parameters, 90-day complications and readmissions, and two-year revisions were retrieved. Multivariate binary stepwise logistic regression identified independent outcome predictors. RESULTS 704 patients were identified (n=352 each), with comparable age, sex, race, primary insurance, Charlson/Deyo scores, surgical approach, and levels fused between cohorts (all, p>0.05). Cannabis users (versus non-users) incurred lower 90-day overall and medical complication rates (2.4% vs. 4.8%, p=0.013; 2.0% vs. 4.1%, p=0.018). Cohorts had otherwise comparable complication, revision, and readmission rates (p>0.05). Baseline cannabis use was associated with a lower risk of 90-day medical complications (OR=0.47, p=0.005). Isolated baseline cannabis use was not associated with 90-day surgical complications and readmissions, or two-year revisions. CONCLUSION Isolated baseline cannabis use, in the absence of any other diagnosed substance abuse disorders, was not associated with increased odds of 90-day surgical complications or readmissions or two-year revisions, though its use was associated with reduced odds of 90-day medical complications when compared to non-users undergoing TLF for ASD. Further investigations are warranted to identify the physiologic mechanisms underlying these findings. Level of Evidence: III.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim was to describe radiographic cervical sagittal alignment variations according to age, gender and pelvic incidence (PI) and to investigate relationships with thoracic alignment. METHODS A total of 2599 individuals (5-93 years) without spinal deformity were studied. Cranial cervical parameters were: McGregor slope, occipita-C2 angle, McGregor-C2 lordosis and C1-C2 lordosis. Caudal cervical parameters were: C2-C7, cranial arch and caudal arch lordosis and C7- and T1-slope. A Bayesian inference compared parameter distributions. Correlations with spinopelvic and global alignment parameters were investigated. RESULTS Among cranial cervical parameters, variations of McGregor slope were non-significant. McGregor-C2 lordosis and C1-C2 lordosis were smaller in males and increased significantly during growth, whereas the occipito-C2 angle decreased (Pr > 0.95). The occipito-C2 angle was larger and McGregor-C2 lordosis was smaller in low PI (Pr > 0.95). Among caudal cervical parameters, C2-C7 lordosis and C7- and T1-slope were larger in males and increased after 50 years (Pr > 0.95). Lordosis changes were non-significant in the cranial arch, whereas values increased in the caudal arch after 35 years (Pr > 0.95). Caudal parameter differences were non-significant between PI groups. Strong correlations existed between C2-C7, caudal arch lordosis, C7-slope, T1-slope and thoracic kyphosis. The sagittal vertical axis C2 correlated with caudal arch lordosis and T1-slope (ρ > 0.5; Pr > 0.95). CONCLUSION Cervical alignment parameters vary according to age, gender and PI. In the cranial cervical spine, changes occur mainly during growth. In the caudal cervical spine, lordosis increases in the caudal arch, which is related to thoracic kyphosis increase with age. The caudal cervical arch acts as a compensatory segment by progressive extension, allowing horizontal gaze.

Abstract
BACKGROUND C1-C2 injury represents 25-40% of cervical injuries and predominantly occurs in the geriatric population. METHODS A prospective multicentre study was conducted under the aegis of the french spine surgery society (SFCR) investigating the impact of age, comorbidities, lesion type, and treatment option on mortality, complications, and fusion rates. RESULTS A total of 417 patients were recruited from 11 participating centres. The mean ± SD age was 66.6 ± 22 years, and there were 228 men (55%); 5.4% presented a neurological deficit at initial presentation. The most frequent traumatic lesion was C2 fracture (n = 308). Overall mortality was 8.4%; it was 2.3% among those aged ≤ 60 years, 5.0% 61-80 years, and 16.0% > 80 years (p < 0.001). Regarding complications, 17.8% of patients ≤ 70 years of age presented with ≥ 1 complication versus 32.3% > 70 years (p = 0.0009). The type of fracture did not condition the onset of complications and/or mortality (p > 0.05). The presence of a comorbidity was associated with a risk factor for both death (p = 0.0001) and general complication (p = 0.008). Age and comorbidities were found to be independently associated with death (p < 0.005). The frequency of pseudoarthrosis ranged from 0 to 12.5% up to 70 years of age and then constantly and progressively increased to reach 58.6% after 90 years of age. CONCLUSIONS C1-C2 injury represents a serious concern, possibly life-threatening, especially in the elderly. We found a major impact of age and comorbidities on mortality, complications, and pseudarthrosis; injury pattern or treatment option seem to have a minimal effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thoracic hyperkyphosis can display pathological deterioration, resulting in either hyperlordotic cervical compensation or sagittal malalignment. Various techniques have been described to treat fixed malalignment. Pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) is commonly used in the lumbar spine and frequently limited to the distal thoracic spine. This series focuses on the surgical specificities of proximal thoracic PSO, with clinical and radiological outcomes. OBJECTIVE To report the surgical specificities and assess the clinical and radiological outcomes of proximal thoracic osteotomies for correction of rigid kyphotic deformities. METHODS This is a retrospective review of 10 consecutive patients who underwent single level proximal thoracic PSO (T2-T5). Preoperative and postoperative full-body EOSTM radiographs, perioperative data, and complications were recorded. The surgical technique and its nuances were described in detail. RESULTS Patients had mean age of 41.8 yr and 50% were female. The technique provided correction of segmental and global kyphosis, 26.6° and 29.5°, respectively. Patients reported reciprocal reduction in C2-C7 cervical lordosis (37.6°-18.6°, P < .001), significantly correlating with the reduction of thoracic hyperkyphosis (R = 0.840, P = .002). Mean operative time was 291 min, blood loss 1650 mL, and mean hospital stay was 13.8 d. Three patients reported complications that were resolved, including 1 patient who was revised because of a painful cross link. There were no neurological complications, pseudarthroses, instrumentation breakage, or wound infections at a minimum of 2-yr follow-up. CONCLUSION Proximal thoracic PSO can be a safe and effective technique to treat fixed proximal thoracic hyperkyphosis leading to kyphosis reduction and craniocervical relaxation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hangman's fractures account for 15% to 20% of all cervical spine fractures. The grading system developed by Effendi and modified by Levine and Edwards is generally used as the basis for management decisions. Nonetheless, the optimal management remains controversial. The objective of this study was to describe the treatments used in France in patients with hangman's fractures. The complications and healing rates were analysed according to the fracture type and treatment used. HYPOTHESIS Among patients with hangman's fracture, those with disc damage must be treated surgically. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective, multi-centre, observational study was conducted under the aegis of the French Society for Spine Surgery (SociétéFrançaisedeChirurgieRachidienne, SFCR). Patients were included if they had computed tomography (CT) evidence of hangman's fracture. Follow-up data were collected prospectively. Fracture healing was assessed on CT scans obtained 3 and 12 months after the injury. The type of treatment and complications were recorded routinely. RESULTS We included 34 patients. The fracture type according to Effendi modified by Levine and Edwards was I in 68% of patients, II in 29% of patients, and III in a single patient (3%). The treatment was non-operative in 21 (62%) patients and surgical in 11 (32%). All 28 patients re-evaluated after 1 year had evidence of fracture healing. The remaining 6 patients were lost to follow-up. CONCLUSION Hangman's fracture is associated with low rates of mortality and neurological complications. Non-operative treatment is appropriate in Type I hangman's fracture, with a 100% healing rate in our study. Types II and III are characterised by damage to the ligaments and discs requiring either anterior C2-C3 fusion or posterior C1-C3 screw fixation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Inter- and intraobserver reliability study. OBJECT To assess the reliability of a new radiographic classification of degenerative spondylolisthesis of the lumbar spine (DSLS). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA DSLS is a common cause of chronic low back and leg pain in adults. To this date, there is no consensus for a comprehensive analysis of DSLS. The reliability of a new DSLS classification system based on sagittal alignment was assessed. METHODS Ninety-nine patients admitted to our spinal surgery department for surgical treatment of DSLS between January 2012 and December 2015 were included. Three observers measured sagittal alignment parameters with validated software: segmental lordosis (SL), lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), and sagittal vertical axis (SVA). Full body low-dose lateral view radiographs were analyzed and classified according to three main types: Type 1A: preserved LL and SL; Type 1B: preserved LL and reduced SL (≤5°); Type 2A: PI-LL ≥10° without pelvic compensation (PT <25°); Type 2B: PI-LL ≥10° with pelvic compensation (PT ≥25°); Type 3: global sagittal malalignment (SVA ≥40 mm). The three observers classified radiographs twice with a 3-week interval for intraobserver reproducibility. Interobserver reproducibility was calculated using Fleiss κ and intra-class coefficient. Intraobserver reproducibility was calculated using Cohen κ. RESULTS Mean age was 68.8 ± 9.8 years. Mean sagittal alignment parameters values were the following: PI: 60.1° ± 12.7°; PI-LL was 12.2° ± 13.9°, PT: 24.7° ± 8.5°; SVA: 44.9 mm ± 44.6 mm; SL: 16.6° ± 8.4°. Intraobserver repeatability showed an almost perfect agreement (ICC > 0.92 and Cohen κ > 0.89 for each observer). Fleiss κ value for interobserver reproducibility was 0.82, with percentage agreement among observers between 88% and 89%. CONCLUSION This new classification showed an excellent inter- and intraobserver reliability. This simple method could be an additional sagittal balance tool helping surgeons improve their preoperative DSLS analysis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Three types of C1 fracture have been described, according to location: type 1 (anterior or posterior arc), type 2 (Jefferson: anterior and posterior arc), and type 3 (lateral mass). Stability depends on transverse ligament integrity. The main aim of the present study was to analyze complications and consolidation rates according to fracture type, age and treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS The French Society of Spinal Surgery (SFCR) performed a multicenter prospective study on C1-C2 trauma. All patients with recent fracture diagnosed on CT were included. Consolidation on CT was studied at 3 months and 1 year. Medical, neurologic, infectious and mechanical complications were inventoried using the KEOPS data-base. RESULTS Sixty-three of the 417 patients (15.1%) had C1 fracture: type 1 (33.3%), type 2 (38.1%), or type 3 (28.6%). The transverse ligament was intact in 53.9% of cases. Treatment was non-operative in 63.5% of cases, surgical in 27.0%, and surgical after failure of non-operative treatment in 9.5%. There were 8 medical complications, more frequently in patients aged >70 years, following surgery (p<0.0001). The consolidation rate was 84.2% with non-operative treatment, 100% for primary surgery, and 33.3% for secondary surgery (p=0.002). There were 10 cases of non-union, in 4.8% of type 1, 13.6% of type 2 and 33.3% of type 3 fractures (p=0.001). CONCLUSION Medical complications showed association with age and with type of treatment. Non-operative treatment was suited to types 1, 2 and 3 with minimal displacement and intact transverse ligament. C1-C2 fusion was suited to displaced unstable type 2 fracture. Displaced type 3 fracture incurred risk of non-union. Early surgery may be recommended. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
PURPOSE Regarding the close interaction
between the spinal balance and the pelvis orientation no
parameter is routinely used to describe and to evaluate the
global spinopelvic balance, taking into account simultaneously
the spinal part and the pelvic part of the global alignment.
The global tilt was described to analyze malalignment,
considering spinal and pelvic imbalance together. From a
geometrical point of view, the global tilt is the sum of the
C7 vertical tilt and the pelvic tilt. The aim of this study is to
evaluate the global tilt by analyzing its correlation with spinal
malalignment. METHODS A cohort of patients who underwent
a lumbar pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) for major
sagittal malalignment was realized. All patients had preoperative
and postoperative full spine EOS radiographies to
measure spinopelvic parameters. The lack of lordosis was
calculated after prediction of theoretical lumbar lordosis.
Correlation analysis between different spinopelvic parameters,
including the global tilt, was performed for preoperative
and postoperative values. RESULTS Thirty-one consecutive
patients were included. All parameters were correlated with
spinal malalignment but the global tilt was the most correlated
parameter in preoperative (r = 0.71) and in postoperative
(r = 0.78). When spinal and pelvic parameters were analyzed
separately, 19% of patients presented mismatches
between spine and pelvis. CONCLUSION This study highlights
the interest of a global parameter evaluating the spinal
balance and the pelvic balance together. The global tilt
appeared to be the most correlated parameter in this study
with spinal malalignment and could be used for the interpretation
of clinical series in spine surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE It is becoming increasingly necessary for surgeons to provide evidence supporting cost-effectiveness of surgical treatment for cervical spine pathology. Anticipating surgical risk is critical in accurately evaluating the risk/benefit balance of such treatment. Determining the risk and cost-effectiveness of surgery, complications, revision procedures, and mortality rates are the most significant limitations. The purpose of this study was to determine independent risk factors for medical complications (MCs), surgical complications (SCs), revisions, and mortality rates following surgery for patients with cervical spine pathology. The most relevant risk factors were used to structure an index that will help quantify risk and anticipate failure for such procedures. METHODS The authors of this study performed a retrospective review of the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database for patients treated surgically for cervical spine pathology between 2001 and 2010. Multivariate models were performed to calculate the odds ratio (OR) of the independent risk factors that led to MCs and repeated for SCs, revisions, and mortality. The models controlled for age (< and > 65 years old), sex, race, revision status (except for revision analysis), surgical approach, number of levels fused/re-fused (2-3, 4-8, ≥ 9), and osteotomy utilization. ORs were weighted based on their predictive category: 2 times for revision surgery predictors and 4 times for mortality predictors. Fifty points were distributed among the predictors based on their cumulative OR to establish a risk index. RESULTS Discharges for 362,989 patients with cervical spine pathology were identified. The mean age was 52.65 years, and 49.47% of patients were women. Independent risk factors included medical comorbidities, surgical parameters, and demographic factors. Medical comorbidities included the following: pulmonary circulation disorder, coagulopathy, metastatic cancer, renal failure, congestive heart failure, alcohol abuse, neurological disorder, nonmetastatic cancer, liver disease, rheumatoid arthritis/collagen vascular diseases, and chronic blood loss/anemia. Surgical parameters included posterior approach to fusion/re-fusion, ≥ 9 levels fused/re-fused, corpectomy, 4-8 levels fused/re-fused, and osteotomy; demographic variables included age ≥ 65 years. These factors increased the risk of at least 1 of MC, SC, revision, or mortality (risk of death). A total of 50 points were distributed among the factors based on the cumulative risk ratio of every factor in proportion to the total risk ratios. CONCLUSIONS This study proposed an index to quantify the potential risk of morbidity and mortality prior to surgical intervention for patients with cervical spine pathology. This index may be useful for surgeons in patient counseling efforts as well as for health insurance companies and future socioeconomics studies in assessing surgical risks and benefits for patients undergoing surgical treatment of the cervical spine.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is no consensus for a comprehensive analysis of degenerative spondylolisthesis of the lumbar spine (DSLS). A new classification system for DSLS based on sagittal alignment was proposed. Its clinical relevance was explored. METHODS Health-related quality-of-life scales (HRQOLs) and clinical parameters were collected: SF-12, ODI, and low back and leg pain visual analog scales (BP-VAS, LP-VAS). Radiographic analysis included Meyerding grading and sagittal parameters: segmental lordosis (SL), L1-S1 lumbar lordosis (LL), T1-T12 thoracic kyphosis (TK), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), and sagittal vertical axis (SVA). Patients were classified according to three main types-1A: preserved LL and SL; 1B: preserved LL and reduced SL (≤5°); 2A: PI-LL ≥10° without pelvic compensation (PT < 25°); 2B: PI-LL ≥10° with pelvic compensation (PT ≥ 25°); type 3: global sagittal malalignment (SVA ≥40 mm). RESULTS 166 patients (119 F: 47 M) suffering from DSLS were included. Mean age was 67.1 ± 11 years. DSLS demographics were, respectively: type 1A: 73 patients, type 1B: 3, type 2A: 8, type 2B: 22, and type 3: 60. Meyerding grading was: grade 1 (n = 124); grade 2 (n = 24). Affected levels were: L4-L5 (n = 121), L3-L4 (n = 34), L2-L3 (n = 6), and L5-S1 (n = 5). Mean sagittal parameter values were: PI: 59.3° ± 11.9°; PT: 24.3° ± 7.6°; SVA: 29.1 ± 42.2 mm; SL: 18.2° ± 8.1°. DSLS types were correlated with age, ODI and SF-12 PCS (ρ = 0.34, p < 0.05; ρ = 0.33, p < 0.05; ρ = -0.20, and p = 0.01, respectively). CONCLUSION This classification was consistent with age and HRQOLs and could be a preoperative assessment tool. Its therapeutic impact has yet to be validated. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective single-center. OBJECTIVE To investigate rotatory subluxation (RS) in adult spinal deformity (ASD) with three-dimensional (3D) stereoradiographic images and analyze relationships between RS, transverse plane parameters, spinopelvic parameters, and clinical outcomes. BACKGROUND Recent research has demonstrated that sagittal plane malalignment and listhesis correlate with ASD patient-reported outcomes. However, there is still a lack of knowledge regarding the clinical impact of 3D evaluation and rotatory subluxation. Recent developments in stereoradiography allow clinicians to obtain full-body standing radiographs with low-dose radiation and 3D reconstruction. METHODS One hundred thirty lumbar ASD patients underwent full-spine biplanar radiographs (EOS Imaging, Paris, France). Clinical outcomes were recorded. Using sterEOS software, spinopelvic parameters and lateral listhesis were measured. 3D transverse plane parameters included apical axial vertebral rotation, axial intervertebral rotation (AIR), and torsion index (sum of AIR in the curve). ASD patients were divided in three groups: AIR <5°, 5°< AIR <10°, AIR >10°. Groups were compared with respect to radiographic and clinical data. Correlations were performed between the transverse and sagittal plane parameters and clinical outcomes. RESULTS Patients with AIR >10° were significantly older, with larger Cobb angle (39.5°) and greater sagittal plane deformity (pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis mismatch 11.7° and pelvic tilt 22.6°). The AIR >10° group had significantly greater apical vertebra axial rotation apex (24.8°), torsion index (45°), and upper-level AIR (21.5°) than the two other groups. Overall, 27% of AIR patients did not have two-dimensional (2D) lateral listhesis. Patients with AIR >10° had significantly worse Oswestry Disability Index and more low back pain. CONCLUSION For patients in which lateral listhesis was unreadable in 2D imaging, rotatory subluxation was revealed using stereoradiography and at an earlier disease stage. Moreover, different 3D transverse plane parameters are related to different patient-reported outcomes. Therefore, axial rotation can be considered in evaluation of lumbar degenerative scoliosis severity and prognosis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE
Sagittal malalignment requires higher energy expenditure to maintain an erect posture. Because the clinical impact of sagittal alignment is affected by both the severity of the deformity and recruitment of compensatory mechanisms, it is important to investigate new parameters that reflect both disability level and compensatory mechanisms for all patients. This study investigated the clinical relevance of the global sagittal axis (GSA), a novel measure to evaluate the standing axis of the human body.
METHODS
This is a retrospective review of patients who underwent full-body radiographs and completed health-related quality of life (HRQOL) questionnaires: Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Scoliosis Research Society–22, EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D), and the visual analog scale for back and leg pain. The GSA was defined as the angle formed by a line from the midpoint of the femoral condyles to the center of C-7, and a line from the midpoint between the femoral condyles to the posterior superior corner of the S-1 sacral endplate. After evaluating the correlation of GSA/HRQOL with sagittal parameters, linear regression models were generated to investigate how ODI and GSA related to radiographic parameters (T-1 pelvic angle, pelvic retroversion, knee flexion, and pelvic posterior translation).
RESULTS
One hundred forty-three patients (mean age 44 years) were included. The GSA correlated significantly with all HRQOL (up to r = 0.6 with EQ-5D) and radiographic parameters (up to r = 0.962 with sagittal vertical axis). Regression between ODI and sagittal radiographic parameters identified the GSA as an independent predictor (r = 0.517, r2 = 0.267; p < 0.001). Analysis of standardized coefficients revealed that when controlling for deformity, the GSA increased with a concurrent decrease in pelvic retroversion (−0.837) and increases in knee flexion (+0.287) and pelvic posterior translation (+0.193).
CONCLUSIONS
The GSA is a simple, novel measure to assess the standing axis of the human body in the sagittal plane. The GSA correlated highly with spinopelvic and lower-extremities sagittal parameters and exhibited remarkable correlations with HRQOL, which exceeded other commonly used parameters.

Abstract
OBJECT
Previous forceplate studies analyzing the impact of sagittal-plane spinal deformity on pelvic parameters have demonstrated the compensatory mechanisms of pelvis translation in addition to rotation. However, the mechanisms recruited for this pelvic rotation were not assessed. This study aims to analyze the relationship between spinopelvic and lower-extremity parameters and clarify the role of pelvic translation.
METHODS
This is a retrospective study of patients with spinal deformity and full-body EOS images. Patients with only stenosis or low-back pain were excluded. Patients were grouped according to T-1 spinopelvic inclination (T1SPi): sagittal forward (forward, > 0.5°), neutral (−6.3° to 0.5°), or backward (< −6.3°). Pelvic translation was quantified by pelvic shift (sagittal offset between the posterosuperior corner of the sacrum and anterior cortex of the distal tibia), hip extension was measured using the sacrofemoral angle (SFA; the angle formed by the middle of the sacral endplate and the bicoxofemoral axis and the line between the bicoxofemoral axis and the femoral axis), and chin-brow vertical angle (CBVA). Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to compare the parameters and correlation with the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).
RESULTS
In total, 336 patients (71% female; mean age 57 years; mean body mass index 27 kg/m2) had mean T1SPi values of −8.8°, −3.5°, and 5.9° in the backward, neutral, and forward groups, respectively. There were significant differences in the lower-extremity and spinopelvic parameters between T1SPi groups. The backward group had a normal lumbar lordosis (LL), negative SVA and pelvic shift, and the largest hip extension. Forward patients had a small LL and an increased SVA, with a large pelvic shift creating compensatory knee flexion. Significant correlations existed between lower-limb parameter and pelvic shift, pelvic tilt, T-1 pelvic angle, T1SPi, and sagittal vertical axis (0.3 < r < 0.8; p < 0.001). ODI was significantly correlated with knee flexion and pelvic shift.
CONCLUSIONS
This is the first study to describe full-body alignment in a large population of patients with spinal pathologies. Furthermore, patients categorized based on T1SPi were found to have significant differences in the pelvic shift and lower-limb compensatory mechanisms. Correlations between lower-limb angles, pelvic shift, and ODI were identified. These differences in compensatory mechanisms should be considered when evaluating and planning surgical intervention for adult patients with spinal deformity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Evaluation of sagittal alignment is essential in the operative treatment of spine pathology, particularly adult spinal deformity (ASD). However, software applications for detailed spino-pelvic analysis are usually complex and not applicable to routine clinical use. PURPOSE This study aimed to validate new clinician-friendly software (Surgimap) in the setting of ASD. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING Accuracy and inter- and intra-rater reliability of spine measurement software were tested. Five users (two experienced spine surgeons, three novice spine research fellows) independently performed each part of the study in two rounds with 1 week between measurements. PATIENT SAMPLE Fifty ASD patients drawn from a prospective database were used as the study sample. OUTCOME MEASURES Spinal, pelvic, and cervical measurement parameters (including pelvic tilt [PT], pelvic incidence [PI], lumbar-pelvic mismatch [PI-LL], lumbar lordosis [LL], thoracic kyphosis [TK], T1 spino-pelvic inclination [T1SPI], sagittal vertical axis [SVA], and cervical lordosis [CL]) were the outcome measures. METHODS For the accuracy evaluation, 30 ASD patient radiographs were pre-marked for anatomic landmarks. Each radiograph was measured twice with the new software (Surgimap); measurements were compared to those from previously validated software. For the reliability and reproducibility evaluation, users measured 50 unmarked ASD radiographs in two rounds. Intra-class correlation (ICC) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) reproducibility values were calculated. Measurement time was recorded. RESULTS Surgimap demonstrated excellent accuracy as assessed by the mean absolute difference from validated measurements: PT: 0.12°, PI: 0.35°, LL: 0.58°, PI-LL: 0.46°, TK: 5.25°, T1SPI: 0.53°, and SVA: 2.04 mm. The inter- and intra-observer reliability analysis revealed good to excellent agreement for all parameters. The mean difference between rounds was <0.4° for PT, PI, LL, PI-LL, and T1SPI, and <0.3 mm for SVA. For PT, PI, LL, PI-LL, TK, T1SPI, and SVA, the intra-observer ICC values were all >0.93 and the inter-observer ICC values were all >0.87. Parameters based on point landmarks rather than end plate orientation had a better reliability (ICC≥0.95 vs. ICC≥0.84). The average time needed to perform a full spino-pelvic analysis with Surgimap was 75 seconds (+25). CONCLUSIONS Using this new software tool, a simple method for full spine analysis can be performed quickly, accurately, and reliably. The proposed list of parameters offers quantitative values of the spine and pelvis, setting the stage for proper preoperative planning. The new software tool provides an important bridge between clinical and research needs.

Abstract
OBJECT
Cervical stenosis is a defining feature of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). Matsunaga et al. proposed that elements of stenosis are both static and dynamic, where the dynamic elements magnify the canal deformation of the static state. For the current study, the authors hypothesized that dynamic changes may be associated with myelopathy severity and neck disability. This goal of this study was to present novel methods of dynamic motion analysis in CSM.
METHODS
A post hoc analysis was performed of a prospective, multicenter database of patients with CSM from the AOSpine North American study. One hundred ten patients (34%) met inclusion criteria, which were symptomatic CSM, age over 18 years, baseline flexion/extension radiographs, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) questionnaires (modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association [mJOA] score, Neck Disability Index [NDI], the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey Physical Component Score [SF-36 PCS], and Nurick grade). The mean age was 56.9 ± 12 years, and 42% of patients were women (n = 46). Correlations with HRQOL measures were analyzed for regional (cervical lordosis and cervical sagittal vertical axis) and focal parameters (kyphosis and spondylolisthesis between adjacent vertebrae) in flexion and extension. Baseline dynamic parameters (flexion/extension cone relative to a fixed C-7, center of rotation [COR], and range of motion arc relative to the COR) were also analyzed for correlations with HRQOL measures.
RESULTS
At baseline, the mean HRQOL measures demonstrated disability and the mean radiographic parameters demonstrated sagittal malalignment. Among regional parameters, there was a significant correlation between decreased neck flexion (increased C2–7 angle in flexion) and worse Nurick grade (R = 0.189, p = 0.048), with no significant correlations in extension. Focal parameters, including increased C-7 sagittal translation overT-1 (slip), were significantly correlated with greater myelopathy severity (mJOA score, Flexion R = −0.377, p = 0.003; mJOA score, Extension R = −0.261, p = 0.027). Sagittal slip at C-2 and C-4 also correlated with worse HRQOL measures. Reduced flexion/extension motion cones, a more posterior COR, and smaller range of motion correlated with worse general health SF-36 PCS and Nurick grade.
CONCLUSIONS
Dynamic motion analysis may play an important role in understanding CSM. Focal parameters demonstrated a significant correlation with worse HRQOL measures, especially increased C-7 sagittal slip in flexion and extension. Novel methods of motion analysis demonstrating reduced motion cones correlated with worse myelopathy grades. More posterior COR and smaller range of motion were both correlated with worse general health scores (SF-36 PCS and Nurick grade). To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate correlation of dynamic motion and listhesis with disability and myelopathy in CSM.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In degenerative adult spinal deformity (ASD), sagittal malalignment and rotatory subluxation (RS) correlate with clinical symptomatology. RS is defined as axial rotation with lateral listhesis. Stereoradiography, recently developed for medical applications, provides full-body standing radiographs and 3D reconstruction of the spine, with low radiation dose. HYPOTHESIS 3D stereoradiography improves analysis of RS and of its relations with transverse plane and spinopelvic parameters and clinical impact. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred and thirty adults with lumbar ASD and full-spine EOS® radiographs (EOS Imaging, Paris, France) were included. Spinopelvic sagittal parameters and lateral listhesis in the coronal plane were measured. The transverse plane study parameters were: apical axial vertebral rotation (apex AVR), axial intervertebral rotation (AIR) and torsion index (TI). Two groups were compared: with RS (lateral listhesis>5mm) and without RS (without lateral listhesis exceeding 5mm: non-RS). Correlations between radiologic and clinical data were assessed. RESULTS RS patients were significantly older, with larger Cobb angle (37.4° vs. 26.6°, P=0.0001), more severe sagittal deformity, and greater apex AVR and TI (respectively: 22.9° vs. 11.3°, P<0.001; and 41.0° vs. 19.9°, P<0.001). Ten percent of patients had AIR>10° without visible RS on 2D radiographs. RS patients reported significantly more frequent low back pain and radiculalgia. DISCUSSION In this EOS® study, ASD patients with RS had greater coronal curvature and sagittal and transverse deformity, as well as greater pain. Further transverse plane analysis could allow earlier diagnosis and prognosis to guide management. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4, retrospective study.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Flat-back syndrome is one of the main causes of surgical failure after lumbar fusion and can lead to a revision surgery to correct it. Three-column pedicle subtraction osteotomy is an efficient technique to restore lumbar lordosis (LL) for fixed sagittal malalignment. The fusion mass stemming from the past surgeries makes the procedure demanding as most anatomical landmarks are missing. MATERIAL AND METHODS This review article will focus on the correction of this lack of LL through the fusion mass. We will successively review the preoperative management, the surgical specificities, and various types of clinical cases that can be encountered in flat-back syndromes. CONCLUSION PSO in the fixed fusion mass is technically demanding. Preoperative CT-scan and preoperative navigation allow us to push the limits when anatomical landmarks disappear. Bleeding and neurologic are the two major complications feared by the surgeon. The best way to avoid these revision surgeries is to restore a proper lumbar lordosis at the time of initial surgery by considering lumbo-pelvic indexes.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Degenerative spondylolisthesis is common in adults. No consensus is available about the analysis or surgical treatment of degenerative spondylolisthesis. In 2013, the French Society for Spine Surgery (Societe francaise de chirurgie du rachis) held a round table discussion to develop a classification system and assess the outcomes of the main surgical treatments. A multicentre study was conducted in nine centres located throughout France and Luxembourg. We established a database on a prospective cohort of 260 patients included between July 2011 and July 2012 and a retrospective cohort of 410 patients included in personal databases between 2009 and 2013. For patients in the prospective cohort clinical assessments were performed before and after surgery using the self-administered functional impact questionnaire AQS, SF12, and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Type of treatment and complications were recorded. Antero-posterior and lateral full-length radiographs were used to measure lumbar lordosis (LL), segmental lordosis (SL), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sagittal vertical axis (SVA), and percentage of vertebral slippage. Mean follow-up was 10 months. We started a randomised clinical trial comparing posterior fusion of degenerative spondylolisthesis with versus without an inter-body cage. 60 patients were included, 30 underwent 180° fusion and 30 underwent 360° fusion using an inter-body cage implanted via a transforaminal approach. We evaluated the quality of neural decompression achieved by minimally invasive fusion technique. In a subgroup of 24 patients computed tomography (CT) was performed before and after the procedure and then compared. Mean age was 67 years and 73% of degenerative spondylolisthesis were located at L4-L5 level. The many surgical procedures performed in the prospective cohort were posterior fusion (39%), posterior fusion combined with inter-body fusion (36%), dynamic stabilization (15%), anterior lumbar fusion (8%), and postero-lateral fusion without exogenous material (2%). Peri-operative complications of any severity occurred in 17% of patients. The AQS, ODI and SF12 scores were improved significantly at follow-up. We found no differences in clinical improvements across surgical procedure types. Circumferential fusion (360°) was associated with greater relief of nerve root pain and better lordosis recovery after 1 year compared to postero-lateral fusion (180°). Post-operative CT images showed effective decompression of nervous structures after minimally invasive fusion. Longer follow-up of our patients is needed to assess the stability of the results of the various surgical procedures. Based on a radiological analysis, the authors propose a new classification with five types of degenerative spondylolisthesis: type 1, SL>5° and LL>PI-10°; type 2, SL<5° and LL>PI-10°; type 3, LL<PI-10°; type 4, LL<PI-10° and compensated sagittal balance with PT>25°; and type 5, sagittal imbalance with SVA>4 cm. PROOF LEVEL IV Observational cohort study. Retrospective review of prospectively collected outcome data.
