Disc Versus Vertebral Body Contribution to Lumbar Lordosis in Asymptomatic Subjects
This study highlights the importance of vertebral contribution to lumbar lordosis, ranging from 8% to 21% among PI groups. Lumbar lordosis decreased with aging through decreased disc lordosis in the lower lumbar spine and increased body kyphosis in the upper lumbar spine. These results may help surgeons in the assessment of sagittal alignment and the selection of operative technique to achieve surgical correction.
