Meticulous and exhaustive analysis of spinopelvic parameters allows for identification of the main compensatory mechanisms observed in patients with sagittal balance disorders. These mechanisms have to be considered prior to therapeutic options. This may probably optimize the management of patients with severe degenerative spine especially when surgical treatment with instrumentation of the spine is planned.
