A 75-year-old Japanese woman with Parkinson's disease complained of lower back pain and gait disturbance because of iatrogenic flatback syndrome. The preoperative global spinal parameters were as follows: C7SVA, 168 mm; TK, 52 degrees; LL, -0.8 degrees; PI, 57 degrees; PT, 55 degrees; TPA, 60 degrees. We performed 3D gait analysis using a VICON System and calculated the dynamic SVA. Preoperatively, her flexion deformity gradually progressed during walking. The dynamic parameters gradually increased as follows: thoracic SVA, 216-241 mm; lumbar SVA, 53-69 mm; spinal SVA, 270-311 mm. We performed two-stage corrective surgery. Her lower back pain and gait disturbance significantly improved. The postoperative global spinal parameters were as follows: C7SVA, 1 mm; TK, 47 degrees; LL, 61 degrees; P1, 52 degrees; PT, 20 degrees; TPA, 13 degrees. Dynamic SVA detected by our 3D gait analysis using VICON were as follows: thoracic SVA, 128 mm; lumbar SVA, 4.9 mm; and spinal SVA, 133 mm. The postoperative dynamic SVA did not change during walking.This is the first report of a patient with iatrogenic flatback syndrome whose postoperative improvement of dynamic spinal sagittal alignment was successfully detected with a newly developed 3D gait analysis system that enabled us to analyze a dynamic change of SVA based on the patient's actual walking with a continuous long-distance gait. Our 3D gait analysis has potential usefulness for evaluating postoperative sagittal balance for iatrogenic flatback syndrome. (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
