Measurements

Add a wedge to make Predicted diverge from Pre.

Age (years)Empty = Schwab. Set age for Lafage PI−LL / PT / SVA.

	Pre	Pred	Target	Δ
Sacral slope SS = PI − PT. The sacral platform you stand on.	-	-	-	-
Pelvic tilt Compensatory. High PT is pelvic retroversion to keep the head over the hips.	-	-	< 20°	-
Pelvic incidence Morphologic constant. Does not change with posture or surgery.	-	-	-	-
Lumbar lordosis L1–S1. GAP ideal is 0.62×PI + 29, not always PI itself.	-	-	≈ 0.62×PI+29	-
L4–S1 Distal lordosis. About two-thirds of LL lives in L4–S1.	-	-	≈ ⅔ LL	-
L1–L4 Proximal lumbar. The remaining third above L4.	-	-	-	-
L4–S1 / LL L4–S1 as a share of L1–S1. GAP: the distribution, not just the Cobb.	-	-	50–80%	-
T4–T12 TK T4–T12 kyphosis. The thoracic half of the inflection.	-	-	-	-
TPA T1–pelvic angle at the hips. Global, and it does not need a millimetre scale.	-	-	-	-
PI − LL The mismatch to correct. Schwab: \|PI − LL\| < 10°. Age-adjusted when you set age.	-	-	0°	-
T1 slope Cervical and thoracic takeoff. Rises as the patient leans forward.	-	-	-	-
SVA Global balance. Schwab: C7 plumb within 40 mm of S1. Older spines are allowed more.	cal.	cal.	< 40 mm	-
