Abstract

Coronal realignment is an important goal in adult spine surgery that has been overshadowed by emphasis on the sagittal plane. As coronal malalignment drives considerable functional disability, a fundamental understanding of its clinical and radiographic evaluation and surgical techniques to prevent its development is of utmost importance. In this study, we review etiologies of coronal malalignment and their radiographic and clinical assessments, risk factors for and functional implications of postoperative coronal malalignment, and surgical strategies to optimize appropriate coronal realignment in adult spine surgery.
