Objective: This study examined the effect of spinopelvic parameters on the formation of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) in patients who underwent surgery due to LDH was examined. For this purpose, a retrospective cross-sectional analysis was performed on two groups; healthy individuals and those who underwent surgery. Materials and Methods: Correlation between clinical examination, plain radiography, and magnetic resonance imaging was performed for patients with LDH. Patients who underwent surgery for L4-5 and L5-S1 levels were included in the study. Healthy controls were included in Group 1, and patients who underwent LDH surgery were included in Group 2. Spinopelvic parameters (LL, L1-L4, L4-S1, SS, PI, PT angles) were measured using Surgimap. The obtained data were statistically compared using SPSS. Results: There was no difference between the two groups in L1-L4, SS, PI, and PT measurements. LL (p=0.004) and L4-S1 lordosis angles (p=0.001) were found to be lower in Group 2 than in Group 1. In Group 2, no difference was found in any parameter regarding the formation of disc degeneration at a single or multiple levels. In group 2, PI values of the L4-5 disc level were higher than those of the L5-S1 disc level (p=0.032). Conclusion: There were no statistically significant differences between groups 1 and 2, except for LL. Decreased LL is a risk factor for surgery for disc herniation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
