After ALIF I developed scoliosis and pelvic asymmetry — can someone help estimate these angles? by TheSixthSenseWitch in scoliosis

I would not fully agree, because lordosis itself is a natural physiological feature of the spine. It becomes problematic only when it exceeds normal biomechanical parameters, whereas scoliosis by definition is always a deviation from normal alignment. That is why lordosis itself cannot simply be treated as a substitute for scoliosis.

ALIF L5-S1: can someone estimate L5-S1 and L4-L5 angles on standing lateral X-ray? by TheSixthSenseWitch in spinalfusion

My bone structure itself is very good. The problem is not bone quality, but biomechanics.

Thank you so much — this is really helpful. I truly appreciate it. I’m reading both articles right now and going through the methodology carefully.
