The loss of compensation at the cervicothoracic junction was observed in all DHS types. B-DHS showed decompensation only at the cervicothoracic junction. N-DHS presented additional decompensation of the thoracic spine, and P-DHS showed decompensation between the thoracic and lumbar spine. Evaluation of global sagittal spinal balance is important for determining global spinal compensation associated with DHS and when considering treatment strategy.
