Data on Orthopedic Surgery Discussed by Researchers at Brown University (Sagittal spinal alignment measurements and evaluation: Historical perspective)

Article Description

Spinal alignment analysis play an important role in evaluating patients and planning surgical corrections for adult spinal deformity. The history of these parameters is relatively short with the first parameter, the Cobb angle, introduced in 1948 as part of an effort to improve scoliosis evaluation. New developments in the field were limited for nearly 30 years before better imaging technology encouraged new theories and later data about spinal alignment and the relationship between the spine and pelvis. These efforts would ultimately contribute to the creation of foundational spinal alignment parameters, including pelvic incidence, pelvic tilt, and sacral slope. By the 1990s, spinal alignment had become a sustained area of investigation for spinal surgeons and researchers. Novel alignment parameters have since been introduced as our knowledge has evolved and has allowed for valuable research that demonstrates the clinical and surgical value of alignment measurement. This manuscript will explore the history of spinal alignment analysis over the decades.
