TL;DR: Overall, this study suggests that PJK patients were overcorrected when compared to age-adjusted alignment goals, emphasizing the need for surgeons to incorporate age-specific alignment targets into the standard preoperative planning process.

TL;DR: The GSA is a simple, novel measure to assess the standing axis of the human body in the sagittal plane that correlated highly with spinopelvic and lower-extremities sagittal parameters and exhibited remarkable correlations with HRQOL, which exceeded other commonly used parameters.

TL;DR: Workers' compensation patients have a two-fold increased risk of an unsatisfactory outcome compared with non-compensated patients after surgery and this association was consistent when studies were grouped by country or procedure.

TL;DR: Patients with DLS permit mild to moderate deformity without recruiting compensatory mechanisms of PT, reducing truncal inclination and thoracic hypokyphosis to achieve neural decompression, however, with moderate to severe deformity, their desire for upright posture overrides the desire for Neural decompression.

TL;DR: Elevated ODI/NDI scores in patients with isolated complaints show that disability in 1 region affects scores on both surveys, and TDI provides a more global assessment of spinal disability and is a questionnaire that reduces the time burden to patients.
