PurposePrevious investigations have recognized the critical role of pelvic parameters in the setting of a fixed sagittal deformity. Pelvic incidence (PI) is a constant, as everyone knows. However, PI might change reciprocally because of increased shear force on the sacroiliac joint, following surgical correction of fixed lumbar lordosis (LL). The disparity in PI after surgery according to the surgical method, and its impact on final follow-up, has not been reported. This study was undertaken to analyze the disparity of PI before and after surgery, and to evaluate its impact on final sagittal alignment in surgically corrected lordosis when there is immediate postoperative normal alignment following correction of adult sagittal deformity.
