Association of Spinopelvic Anatomy with the Level of Lumbar Disc Herniation

This is the first study to reveal individual spinopelvic anatomy and, in particular, PI to be associated with the distinct level of LDH. These findings substantiate the biomechanical influence of the sagittal profile on the pathogenesis of LDH. Individual spinopelvic compensatory mechanisms were available independently of the patient's age. Minimal invasive sequestrectomy is a reliable treatment for symptomatic LDH without further segment degeneration.
