Biomechanical simulations of the scoliotic deformation process in the pinealectomized chicken: a preliminary study

BACKGROUND: The basic mechanisms whereby mechanical factors modulate the metabolism of the growing spine remain poorly understood, especially the role of growth adaptation in spinal disorders like in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). This paper presents a finite element model (FEM) that was dev...
