Table 2 Analysis of spinopelvic complex elements lumbar flexibility (∆ LL = LLstanding − LLsitting), pelvic mobility (∆ PT = PTstanding − PTsitting) and hip motion (∆ PFA = PFAstanding − PFAsitting) and spinopelvic parameter LL, APPT, PT, PFA and PI in standing position according to the BMI: group 1: ≥ 18.5–24.9 kg/m2 (n = 68), group 2: ≥ 25.0–29.9 kg/m2 (n = 81) and group 3: ≥ 30–39.9 kg/m2 (n = 41) preoperatively
