Abstract
Deformity is one of the common diseases of the spine. For example, in the case of scoliosis, which is a three-dimensional deviation in the spine, the prevalence of 2% to 32% among adults has been reported [1]. In case of severe deformity, surgical methods are usually used to correct it. In surgical methods, rods with appropriate curvature are placed next to the spine and the deviation is completely or partially corrected by connecting the vertebrae to said rods. In general, the curvature of the rods is determined based on the clinical indicators of the patient, the tissue fault strength, the stiffness of the soft tissues, the movement limitation of the vertebrae and the level of spinal cord...
