Spinopelvic balance is an important concept in adult spinal deformities. There are numerous ways of assessing spinopelvic balance, using various bony landmarks and angles to evaluate whether or not a normal distribution of weight and stresses is present through the axial skeleton, some incorporating the position of the head, while others focusing on the pelvis, have been described 1-3:
sagittal vertical axis / sagittal vertical alignment / C7 plumb line
chin-brow vertical angle
kyphosis tilt angle
pelvic incidence
pelvic tilt
sacral slope
spinopelvic angle
