Iatrogenic Anteverted Pelvis After Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery

Postoperative AP does not appear to be associated with increased mechanical complications, even in patients who were normo- or retroverted preoperatively. These findings suggest that iatrogenic AP may represent a physiological adaptation rather than a pathologic outcome, particularly in younger patients without hip or neuromuscular comorbidities. Pelvic fixation is not necessary in cases of isolated AP when global sagittal balance is restored.
