Abstract :
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery planning is a complex procedure that relies mostly on surgeon experiment. Consequences of a suboptimal decision are of great importance for the patient and a new device to help planning would be welcome. Fuzzy models were developed and validated to facilitate surgery planning.
