Abstract

A flexed posture is seen to develop in association with increasing age. Patients with such a flexed posture have several problems, and it is difficult to treat these favorably. To treat this type of deformity, we must understand the alignment of the patient's spine.We classified lumbosacral kyphosis into three types depending on sacral inclination and disc degeneration in the lower lumbar spine. Patients with a deformity due to loss of sacral inclination and malalignment in lower lumbar spine showed marked disability in daily life and had severe lumbago.Sacral inclination seemed to be an important factor in the treatment of patients with deformity both surgically and non-surgically. We may operate on them using lumbosacral fusion and correction using Galveston technique with ISOLA instrumentation.
