[Method] 1 case of idiopathic scoliosis patients thin CT scan, the raw data obtained by the finite element software idiopathic scoliosis established finite element model, in which the model directly related to measurement, and select the number of stress points of the force under normal load conditions. [Results ] section of the vertebral wedge deformity of the biggest changes in the apical region, vertebral body stress distribution points also showed concentration in the apical region, the size of wedge changes and stress are presented to the end of the vertebral gradually decreased. [Conclusion] dimensional finite element model of scoliosis can be easily under various conditions of scoliosis stress analysis, biomechanics of scoliosis-related theory and clinical research possible. [Keywords:] idiopathic scoliosis, finite element, biomechanics, Hueter-Volkmann principle Abstract: [Objective] To establish 3D finite element model of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Stress analysis on established 3D finite element model was done to compare the specific quantity of stress among every vertebra. [Method] Under the help of related softwares, 3D finite element model was established from CT scan of a adolescent idiopathic scoliosi. A number of points were chosen on the model. Stress analysis was done in normal loading. [Result] Vertebral wedging and stress distribution showed significant regularity. The result was the largest in the apical region, and showed a gradual decrease to the end vertebral. [Conclusion] Relative biomechanical and clinical analysis can be easily condu
