Coronal imbalance in degenerative scoliosis with type A coronal alignment: an amendment to the Nanjing coronal imbalance classification
Patients with type Ac CIB are at greater risk of postoperative CIB following surgery compared with patients with type Aa or Ab alignment. The modified CIB classification highlights the high risk of CIB in type Ac, similar to the type C CIB pattern. These findings provide a more comprehensive delineation of coronal alignment phenotypes and introduce a refined system for stratifying the risk of postoperative CIB.
