According to these results, T1 seems to be of major interest in postoperative modifications of sagittal alignment. T1 slope and sagittal tilt are good indicators of postoperative changes for regional (cervical lordosis and thoracic kyphosis) and global parameters. We therefore consider these parameters as essential in the assessment of AIS patients. Further studies and correlation with clinical scores will, however, be necessary in order to confirm the present findings.
