A Novel, Easy-to-Measure Radiographic Parameter to Assess Spinopelvic Malalignment: The Pelvic Inclination Angle
As the PIA is independent of PI, it will be more useful in differentiating between patients with normal spinopelvic alignment and those with spinopelvic malalignment and in reflecting the clinical symptoms of patients with spinopelvic malalignment. In addition, by providing a cutoff value of 13.6°, the PIA can be used as a surgical target or to predict postoperative outcomes.
