Résumé
The hip-spine relationship is increasingly recognized as critical for optimizing stability following total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, these measurements are not routinely obtained during THA workup. It has been suggested that insight can be gained from supine antero-posterior pelvis radiograph, measuring the distance from the superior border of the pubic symphysis to the sacro-coccygeal joint (PSCD). This study assessed the correlation between PSCD and lateral lumbar radiographic metrics in a cohort of preoperative THA patients. We retrospectively evaluated 250 consecutive patients who underwent THA with preoperative supine antero-posterior pelvis and lateral lumbar radiographs. The mean age was 68 years (range, 42 to 89), 61% were women, and the mean body mass index was 30 kg/m Correlations between PSCD and lumbar radiographic metrics were all statistically significant, except for PI in men but graded as "weak" or "very weak" for men and women, respectively, as follows: PT = -0.30 (P < .01) and -0.46 (P < .01); SS = 0.27 (P < .01) and 0.22 (P < .01); PI = -0.04 (P = .70) and -0.19 (P = .02); and LL = 0.45 (P < .01) and 0.30 (P < .01). Inter-observer reliability was graded as "strong" for every metric. The PSCD was weakly correlated with all evaluated lateral lumbar radiographic metrics in both sexes, despite strong inter-observer reliability. Therefore, PSCD cannot reliably serve as a proxy for evaluating the hip-spine relationship.

BACKGROUND
The hip-spine relationship is increasingly recognized as critical for optimizing stability following total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, these measurements are not routinely obtained during THA workup. It has been suggested that insight can be gained from supine antero-posterior pelvis radiograph, measuring the distance from the superior border of the pubic symphysis to the sacro-coccygeal joint (PSCD). This study assessed the correlation between PSCD and lateral lumbar radiographic metrics in a cohort of preoperative THA patients.
METHODS
We retrospectively evaluated 250 consecutive patients who underwent THA with preoperative supine antero-posterior pelvis and lateral lumbar radiographs. The mean age was 68 years (range, 42 to 89), 61% were women, and the mean body mass index was 30 kg/m
RESULTS
Correlations between PSCD and lumbar radiographic metrics were all statistically significant, except for PI in men but graded as "weak" or "very weak" for men and women, respectively, as follows: PT = -0.30 (P < .01) and -0.46 (P < .01); SS = 0.27 (P < .01) and 0.22 (P < .01); PI = -0.04 (P = .70) and -0.19 (P = .02); and LL = 0.45 (P < .01) and 0.30 (P < .01). Inter-observer reliability was graded as "strong" for every metric.
CONCLUSION
The PSCD was weakly correlated with all evaluated lateral lumbar radiographic metrics in both sexes, despite strong inter-observer reliability. Therefore, PSCD cannot reliably serve as a proxy for evaluating the hip-spine relationship.
