ABSTRACT

The sagittal balance and spine-pelvic para­meters are now becoming more important in the field of spinal pathology, from the initial assessment of the patient to the operative planning and evaluation of results. Cervical sagittal balance has however not been well studied so far and there is no consensus as to its parameters and clinical utility. This article describes the parameters most frequently reported in international publications and those who have shown a higher correlation with quality of life and symptoms of the patients. We conclude that like spine-pelvic parameters, spine-cranial parameters have a significant relevance for the assessment, management and measurement of results in spinal surgery.
