Abstract

A complete radiographic evaluation is inherent in the management of the spinal deformity patient; however, a complete evaluation is often not obtained or fully appreciated. This article reviews the proper radiographic methodology for obtaining consistent reproducible radiographs for spinal deformity. In addition, standard radiographic measurements are reviewed, and the reliability and validity of these measurements are reported. Regional curve flexibility and end, neutral, and stable vertebra selection are also included.
