Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Among patients with a history of prior lipomyelomeningocele repair, an association between increased lumbosacral angle (LSA) and cord retethering has been described. The authors sought to build a predictive algorithm to determine which complex tethered cord patients will develop the symptoms of spinal cord retethering after initial surgical repair with a focus on spinopelvic parameters.
