Abstract
The numerical simulation for the scoliosis surgical correction could be helpful in establishing the best surgical planning for a given patient. Previous research at the Laboratoire de Bioécanique yielded a preliminary finite-element model, and demonstrated the feasibility of a patient-specific simulation. However its extreme tediousness and its lack of self-reliance made it difficult to be used in a clinical environment. The objective of our work is to take ever this finite-element model, in order: first, to improve two key-parameters, i.e. automation for the assessment of patient-specific mechanical properties, and robustness (numerical stability and self-reliance) for the simulation of surgery. Second, to model various clinical cases in order to ewaluate the clinical relevance of the model and to better understand mechanisms of correction.
