Balanced global spinopelvic balance is important in the maintenance of the physiological alignment of all body segments above the pelvis with minimum energy expenditure. The key determinants affecting the 3D index-odontoid-hip axis (OD-HA) angle, and in particular its alterations, have not been clearly defined. The aim of this study is to identify the determinants of the 3D OD-HA angle in maintaining global spinopelvic balance in a large Chinese adult cohort of different gender and age groups.
