Background contextLumbar degenerative kyphosis (LDK) is characterized by sagittal imbalance resulting from a loss of lumbar lordosis (LL). The pelvic incidence (PI) regulates the sagittal alignment of the spine and pelvis.PurposeThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the spinopelvic parameters in patients with LDK and to compare them with those of a normal population.Study design/settingA cross-sectional study.Patient sampleThe selected patients showed characteristic clinical features of LDK. As control group, asymptomatic volunteers without spinal pathology were recruited.Outcome measuresFull-length radiographs of the spine in the anteroposterior and lateral planes were taken, extending from the base of the skull to the proximal femur. Pelvic incidence, sacral slope (SS), pelvic tilt (PT), main thoracic kyphosis (TK), thoracolumbar junction (TLJ), LL, and sagittal vertical axis (SVA) were evaluated.MethodsIn terms of PI, the patient and control groups were divided into three groups: low (PI≤45°), middle (45°
