The continuum from degenerative conditions to new onset deformity

The basics of the concept of sagittal alignment are explained, followed by a description of the effects of position and size of cage on the restoration of lordosis, with pictorial representation of each scenario.
The restoration of balance using interbody fusion strategies including ALIF, PLIF, TLIF and DLIF are discussed.
