Abstract
This study demonstrates the extended use of PI=PT+SS proposed as LI=LT+LS. These new spinopelvic reference values help us better understand the position of each vertebra relative to the hip. In situations when lumbar vertebrae are fused or ankylosed to the sacrum to form a single spinopelvic complex, LI can be used to determine rLL, to preserve spinal harmony within the limits of compensated body balance.
