    [Abstract] Spinal finite element method is a relatively new research method in recent years in spine biomechanics, which has been widely used now. This study describe the development process of the finite element method, finite element method in cervical, thoracic and lumbar spinal; the article evaluate the present situation of the development and prospects of the finite element model in scoliosis and kyphos.
