Table 1 Analyses of spinopelvic complex key elements lumbar flexibility (∆ LL = LLstanding − LLsitting), pelvic mobility (∆ PT = PTstanding − PTsitting) and hip motion (∆ PFA = PFAstanding-PFAsitting) and spinopelvic parameter LL, PT and PFA in standing and sitting position of patients with pre-existing THA and the matched control group pre- and postoperatively

From: Spinopelvic mobility is influenced by pre-existing contralateral hip arthroplasty: a matched-pair analysis in patients undergoing hip replacement

  1. p values indicating differences between patients with pre-existing THA and the matched control group with no pre-existing THA each preoperatively and postoperatively. Pelvic incidence (PI) is a fixed spinopelvic posture-independent parameter and served as a control parameter revealing no significant differences. Wilcoxon rank sum test was used and level of significance set at p < 0.05. SD = standard deviation. Significant differences are marked in bold
