In all patients, pelvic incidence (PI), lumbar lordosis (LL), sacral slope (SS), and pelvic tilt(PT) angles were measured on standing profile roentgenograms of the lumbar spine and pelvis. Statistical differences were investigated betweenthe two groups.Results: The PI, LL, and SS values were significantly different between the two groups. However, the difference in terms of PT was not significant.Conclusion: Some spinopelvic parameters, such as PI, LL, SS, and PT, may be considered as predictive factors in the development of degenerativespinal diseases, and the restoration of sagittal balance may provide better results when these factors are considered.en10.4274/jtss.galenos.2019.0005info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess[No Keywords]Article304245248
