Abstract

ObjectiveTo correlate spinopelvic balance with the development of degenerative spondylolisthesis and disc herniation. MethodsThis was a descriptive retrospective study that evaluated 60 patients in this hospital, 30 patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis at the L4‐L5 level and 30 with herniated disc at the L4‐L5 level, all of whom underwent Surgical treatment. ResultsPatients with lumbar disc herniation at L4‐L5 level had a mean tilt of 8.06, mean slope of 36.93, and mean PI of 45. In patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis at the L4‐L5 level, a mean tilt of 22.1, mean slope of 38.3, and mean PI of 61.4 were observed. ConclusionThis article reinforces the finding that the high mean tilt and PI are related to the onset of degenerative spondylolisthesis, and also concluded that the same angles, when low, increase the risk for disc herniation.
