This retrospective cohort analysis of SCS patients did not demonstrate any relationship between poor sagittal alignment and failure of SCS therapy. Further studies of larger databases should be performed to determine how many patients ultimately go on to have additional structural spinal surgery after failure of SCS and whether or not those patients go on to have positive outcomes.
