Popis: Abstract Background There are few studies to investigate changes in imaging parameters of Modic changes (MCs). The imaging studies examining the distinctions in the lumbar sagittal parameters between MCs and lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) are still lacking. The purpose of this study was to identify the differences in the lumbar sagittal parameters among patients for LDD with/without Modic type 2 change (MII). Methods A total of 208 patients with lumbar degenerative disease from January 2017 to August 2018 volunteered for this study. Sixty-two patients with MII were used as the MC group. The other 146 patients served as the disc degeneration (DD) group. The DD scores and sagittal parameters were measured on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-ray by using Surgimap software. Results The prevalence of MII for patients with degenerative lumbar diseases in this study was 29.81%, primarily located at L5/S1. There were significant differences in lumbar lordosis (LL) and sacral slope (SS) between these two groups (P
