The identification, classification and
appropriate treatment of spinal deformities depend
to a large degree upon their proper radiographic
evaluation.

1st Step
• The Nature • The Location
![Page 4: Radiological measurements](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070512/588a886b1a28abad628b6b8f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Location
• Basis of the location of the apex of the curve
• The apex is the vertebra or disc that is maximally laterally displaced and minimally angulated
![Page 5: Radiological measurements](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070512/588a886b1a28abad628b6b8f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Thoracic : T2 – T11 T12 Disc• Thoracolumbar: T12 – L1
vertebrae• Lumbar: at or distal to L1 –
L2 disc

Cobb Technique
• The angular magnitude of a spinal deformity
• The proximal endplate of the proximal end vertebra and the distal endplate of the distal end vertebra are used.

Apical Vertebral Translation (AVT)
• Lateral displacement of the apex of a coronal curve relative to the center sacral vertical line ( CSVL ).

Sagittal Balance
• C7 Plumb line on lateral xray
• The distal reference point is posterosuperior corner of the sacrum

C2-C7 SVA
• The Distance between – the plumb line of C2 dens tip – plumb line of the center of the C7 upper end plate

C2-C7 Angle
• Angle between– Horizontal line of C2
lower end plate– Horizontal line of C7
lower end plate

T1 SLOPE
• The angle between a horizontal line ( of the radiograph) and the upper end plate of T1

C2-T1 Pelvic Angle (CTPA)
Angle formed by– a line extending
from the center of the C2 vertebral body to the bicoxofemoral axis
– a line from the bicoxofemoral axis to the center of the T1 vertebral body.

T1 Pelvic Angle (TPA)
Angle formed by • a line extending from
the center of T1 to the bicoxofemoral axis
• a line from the bicoxofemoral axis to the center S1 endplate
• Mean: 11.9• >20 = Deformity

Pelvic Parameters
• Pelvic Tilt– Angle between the
vertical and the line through the midpoint of the sacral point to femoral head axis
– Mean pelvic tilt in volunteer population of 13 degrees ( Lafage Spine, 2009)
![Page 19: Radiological measurements](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070512/588a886b1a28abad628b6b8f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Sacral slope – Angle between the
horizontal line and the sacral plate
• Pelvic Incidence– Angle between line
perpendicular to the sacral plate at its midpoint
– The line connecting this point to the femoral head axis
