Official SBC Scientific Videocast•Section 1: Basic Concepts
Episode 01 – The Spine in the Sagittal Plane
Scientific debate on spinopelvic balance, contemporary classifications, and surgical planning
Episode Overview & Objectives
In this premiere episode of the Treatise in Debate, Dr. Marcelo Risso and Dr. Paulo Cavali discuss essential anatomical and biomechanical concepts from Chapter 8 of the SBC Treatise. They examine radiographic spinopelvic parameters (Pelvic Incidence, Pelvic Tilt, Sacral Slope, SVA, and Lumbar Lordosis), Dubousset's cone of economy, Roussouly morphological classification, SRS-Schwab modifiers, and how these principles guide surgical decision-making for restoring global alignment and preventing mechanical failures.
Key Scientific Topics Covered in this Episode
1Key spinopelvic parameters: PI, PT, SS, and ideal Lumbar Lordosis formula.
2Dubousset's Cone of Economy and energetic expenditure in postural balance.
3Roussouly curve types and proportional lordosis reconstruction.
4SRS-Schwab criteria and GAP Score in preventing hardware failures.
5Clinical correlation in short fusions and complex adult deformity surgery.
