    PurposeHip osteoarthritis (HOA) is known to have a multifactorial pathogenesis. Recent studies suggest that spinopelvic alignment may represent an important additional pathogenic abnormality resulting in HOA. This study aims to assess the correlation between spinopelvic parameters (pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS) and lumbar lordosis (LL)) obtained in the supine position on MRI and HOA, lateral center edge (LCE) angle, and patient reported back pain.MethodsAsymptomatic participants from the whole-body MRI cohort (FF4) from the cross-sectional case-control "Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg" study (KORA) were included. Whole-body MRI was performed in a standardized fashion in each case, on which hip osteoarthritis (HOA), anatomical spinopelvic parameters and lateral center edge angle were measured. Presence of back pain was assessed using a standardized questionnaire. Correlations were estimated by logistic regression models providing odds ratio.ResultsAmong 340 subjects (mean age 56.3 ± 9.3 years; 56.5% male), HOA was present in 89.1% (male: 87.0%, female: 91.7%, p = 0.17). The LCE angle was 30.0° ± 5.5 (men: 29.8° ± 5.9; women: 30.1° ± 5.1; p = 0.696). Mean PI was 54.0° ± 11.3°, PT was 13.7° ± 5.9°, SS was 40.3° ± 8.8° (significantly smaller in women p<0.05) and LL was 36.4° ± 9.6° (significantly greater in women p<0.05). None of the spinopelvic parameters correlated significantly with hip osteoarthritis or LCE angle. HOA was not correlated with back pain.ConclusionSpinopelvic parameters as measured in the supine position on MRI, do not correlate with hip osteoarthritis or lateral center edge angle.Copyright © 2022.
