PURPOSE: The influence of vertebral cement augmentation on spinal sagittal balance is unknown. The present study aimed to analyze the changes in total spinal alignment after Kyphoplasty in @entity2418 @entity1 . METHODS: The study involved 21 @entity2418 @entity1 who underwent Kyphoplasty. In all @entity1 , lateral radiographs of the entire spine were taken preoperatively and 1  month after surgery, to measure the pelvic incidence (PI), @entity10145 ( @entity10145 ), pelvic tilt (PT), @entity1515 ( @entity1515 ), sagittal vertical axis (SVA), and spinosacral angle (SSA). These parameters were compared between @entity2418 @entity1 and 30 healthy volunteers. In @entity2418 @entity1 , the parameters were compared before and after Kyphoplasty. RESULTS: In @entity2418 @entity1 , preoperative SVA was 7.00      3.9  cm, showing a significant shift to anterior sagittal balance as compared to the healthy group (1.45      2.7  cm) (P  <  0.0001). Preoperative @entity10145 was smaller and PT was larger in @entity2418 group than in the healthy group (P  <  0.05). After Kyphoplasty, SVA decreased to 5.02      2.91 (P  =  0.0007) and @entity1515 and SSA increased ( @entity1515 P  =  0.028; SSA P  =  0.0031). Postoperative decrease of SVA was correlated with the kyphotic change of treated vertebra (r  =  0.792, P  <  0.01). VAS score decreased from 7.98      1.8 before Kyphoplasty to 2.38      2.3 postoperatively (P  <  0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Total spinal alignment is shifted to anterior sagittal balance in @entity2418 @entity1 . Kyphoplasty plays a role not only in reducing @entity158 associated with @entity174 but also in improving sagittal imbalance in the treatment of painful @entity3814 .
