Our study showed that PI decreased in more than half of ASD patients immediately after spinal surgery using S2AI screws. Approximately 48% of them were able to recover during the 2-year follow-up. Lower pre-op PI, post-op PI and PT were found to be strongly associated with the return of PI. Thus, these current findings indicated that patients with a high PI at pre-operation should not be over-corrected to avoid PI-LL mismatch postoperatively.
