Objective: To evaluate the intra- and interrater reliability (I-IR) of sagittal spinopelvic parameters from digital full-spine plain radiographs with basic software tools in an unselected adult population with degenerative spinal complaints who were evaluated for surgery. Methods: Forty-nine adult full-spine digital radiographs were measured twice by 3 independent observers, including an experienced spine surgeon, an experienced radiologist, and a resident orthopedic surgeon. Clinical picture archiving and communication system workstations and software tools were used and landmarks were set manually. The I-IR of the sagittal vertical axis (SVA), pelvic tilt (PT), pelvic incidence (PI), sacral slope (SS), and thoracic kyphosis in T4–T12 (TK) were assessed. Results: The intrarater intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) scores varied from 0.82 to 0.99. The interrater ICC scores ranged from 0.78 to 0.99. The intrarater standard error of measurement (SEM) values for SS, PT, PI, and TK varied from 0.8° to 5.0°, and the interrater SEM values ranged from 2.5° to 6.2°, depending on the parameter and the reading round. The I-IR SEM values for SVA varied from 2.2 to 5.7 mm and from 4.6 to 5.0 mm, respectively. Kappa values were >0.88 for all readers. The intrarater variability was the smallest for the most experienced rater. Conclusion: The I-IR of measuring sagittal spinopelvic parameters on digital full-spine images with basic software tools was high. Parameters consisting of several anatomic landmarks were more liable to error. Rater experience had a positive influence on reliability and repeatability. Reader experience should be assessed before accepting measurements for surgical planning and the interpretation of surgical correction during postoperative follow-up.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate changes in trunk muscle strength 12 months after lumbar spine fusion (LSF) compared to preoperative strength. Methods: A total of 194 patients (mean±standard deviation [SD] age, 61±21 years) who underwent LSF participated in this prospective longitudinal study. Physical measurements of the participants were made before surgery and 12 months postoperatively. Isometric trunk extension and flexion strength was measured using a strain-gauge dynamometer in the standing position. Strength changes were calculated. Regression analysis was performed to explore which factors predicted strength levels at 12 months postoperatively. Results: The preoperative mean±SD extension strength was 205±144 N, which increased to 258±142 N (p<0.001) at the 12-month follow-up. Flexion strength increased from 295±172 N to 364±164 N (p<0.001). The preoperative extension/flexion strength ratio was 0.75±0.38 and remained similar (0.73±0.26) at 12 months postoperatively (p=0.39). Conclusion: Although trunk muscle strength increased by 26% for extension and 23% for flexion at the 12-month postoperative follow-up, both values remained objectively low. In addition, flexion strength remained higher than extension strength, which indicates an imbalance between those muscle groups. Age, severe back pain, and low trunk muscle strength before surgery predicted low trunk muscle strength at 1 year after spinal fusion.
