Purpose The aims of this study were to explore the correlations between thoracic kyphosis (TK) and lumbar lordosis (LL) parameters and to build corresponding linear regressions to predict TK morphology and the thoracolumbar inflection point (IP) determined by individual LL parameters in asymptomatic...
