Evaluation of Sagittal Balance in Pediatric Lateral Spine Radiographs: A Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study

Sagittal balance plays a critical role in maintaining the physiological alignment and biomechanical stability of the spine. Accurate assessment of sagittal parameters during childhood can aid in the early detection of postural abnormalities and structural spinal disorders. This study aimed to evaluate sagittal balance parameters-including lumbar lordosis (LL), thoracic kyphosis (TK), pelvic incidence (PI), and sagittal vertical axis (SVA)-in healthy pediatric lateral spine radiographs.
