STUDY DESIGN: Prospective analysis of a consecutive series of adult @entity1 with @entity1615 of the adult and de novo @entity179 . OBJECTIVES: To clinically and radiographically study two populations of adult @entity1 with either @entity1615 of the adult or de novo @entity179 in a quantitative manner to identify reliable radiographic parameters that correlate with clinical symptoms. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND: Although there are many causes of @entity85 in the adult, there are two main categories of @entity1635 : @entity1615 of the adult and de novo @entity179 . Unlike pediatric @entity1635 , in adults there are no established radiographic parameters or classification systems that reliably provide a clinical correlation or offer a useful language for communication among specialists. This study gathered complete clinical and radiographic information on 95 @entity1 with @entity1635 and established several radiographic parameters that correlated with clinical symptoms. METHODS: Each of the 95 @entity1 completed a clinical questionnaire that included a self-reported visual analog scale and underwent full-length standing anteroposterior and lateral radiography. Radiographic analysis was performed by use of digital analysis and included measurement of the Cobb angle, the number of vertebrae in each curve, plumbline offset from T1 to the midsacral line, the upper endplate obliquities of L3 and L4, and maximal lateral olisthy between two adjacent lumbar vertebrae. Sagittal plane measurements included @entity1515 , @entity1513 , and the Sagittal Pelvic Tilt Index. Statistical analysis of both radiographic and clinical parameters of @entity158 was performed to determine any significant correlations between the two. RESULTS: This study showed that lateral vertebral olisthy, L3 and L4 endplate obliquity angles, @entity1515 , and @entity1513 were significantly correlated with @entity158 . CONCLUSION: This quantitative analysis identified several clinically relevant radiographic parameters in @entity1635 @entity1 . Additionally, excellent predictive formulas for self-reported @entity158 levels were obtained.
