Study Summary

This is a parallel, randomized controlled trial comparing two types of patient positioning and their effect on radiologic measures (pre-surgery visit, in the operating room prior to surgery, at the conclusion of surgery, and at 3 weeks after surgery at patients' postoperative visits) as well as surgeon satisfaction (prior to the end of the surgery) and patient outcomes using patient self reported scales (pre-surgery, post surgery at 3 weeks follow-up).

Primary Outcome

X-rays will be performed at patients' pre-surgery visit, in the operating room prior to surgery and at the conclusion of surgery, and at 3 weeks after surgery at patients' postoperative visit. The specifics of the pelvic parameters will be measured at these visits. Also, the patient will complete VAS, ODI (Davidson, 2002; Fairbank, 2000 ), and WHOQOL-BREF prior to surgery and at 3 weeks follow-up. We will collect data on any complications occurring in the perioperative period till 3 weeks after
