Traction therapy, as a conservative treatment plan, is helpful to improve the recovery speed of patients by studying the influence of different traction factors on the therapeutic effect. Methods Based on the thin layer CT data of the lumbar spine of a 16-year-old patient with scoliosis, Mimics21.0 was used to extract the 3D digital model, and Geomagic Wrap2021 was used to perform the smooth surface. After that, SolidWorks was used to manually construct the structures, such as the intervertebral disc, and Ansys17.0 was used to add constraints, ligaments, and other features. Three-factor ANOVA was carried out after an orthogonal experiment that considered traction mode, traction angle, and traction force was finished. Results ① A three-dimensional biomechanical model of lumbar scoliosis was created.② The model's correctness was confirmed by comparing it to the corpse and other finite element models, as well as by verifying it under a range of working settings.③Traction force (P=0.000), traction angle (P=0.000), the interaction between traction force and traction angle (P=0.000), and the interaction between traction mode and traction angle (P=0.045) were all significant.④The interaction between traction force and traction angle has the most significant effect on Cobb, and traction with a certain angle is better than traditional axial traction.⑤ Traction mode is not significant, but the interaction between traction mode and traction angle is significant. Conclusions A certain angle of traction can aid in improving outcomes and the traction force can be suitably decreased in the clinical formulation of the traction plan. The uniformity of correcting effect is more favorable when higher fixation techniques like positive suspension or traction bed traction are used, as opposed to overhanging traction.
