Spinopelvic alignment predicts disc calcification, displacement, and Modic changes: Evidence of an evolutionary etiology for clinically‐relevant spinal phenotypes

Abstract Lumbar disc‐displacement, Modic changes (MCs), and UTE Disc Sign (UDS) on MRI are clinically relevant spinal phenotypes that can lead to sciatica/LBP. Not all degenerated discs result in disc‐displacement, MCs and UDS, suggesting varied etiologies. Spinopelvic parameters have been implicate...
