A Correlation of Radiographic and Functional Measurements in Adult Degenerative Scoliosis

Reduced lumbar lordosis and increased lumbosacral scoliosis can affect the general health status of older patients with de novo degenerative scoliosis. Lateral olisthesis, mainly, and anteroposterior olisthesis are important elements of rotatory subluxation in the lumbar curves, which are important radiographic parameters, predicting symptomatology and health status of patients with de novo degenerative scoliosis.
