Adult Spine Deformity (ASD) is a degenerative condition of the adult spine leading to altered spine curvatures and mechanical balance. Computational approaches, like Finite Element (FE) Models have been proposed to explore the etiology or the treatment of ASD, through biomechanical simulations. However, while the personalization of the models is a cornerstone, personalized FE models are cumbersome to generate. To cover this need, we share a virtual cohort of 16807 thoracolumbar spine FE models with different spine morphologies, presented in an online user-interface platform (SpineView). To generate these models, EOS images are used, and 3D surface spine models are reconstructed. Then, a Statistical Shape Model (SSM), is built, to further adapt a FE structured mesh template for both the bone and the soft tissues of the spine, through mesh morphing. Eventually, the SSM deformation fields allow the personalization of the mean structured FE model, leading to generate FE meshes of thoracolumbar spines with different morphologies. Models can be selectively viewed and downloaded through SpineView, according to personalized user requests of specific morphologies characterized by the geometrical parameters: Pelvic Incidence; Pelvic Tilt; Sacral Slope; Lumbar Lordosis; Global Tilt; Cobb Angle; and GAP score. Data quality is assessed using visual aids, correlation analyses, heatmaps, network graphs, Anova and t-tests, and kernel density plots to compare spinopelvic parameter distributions and identify similarities and differences. Mesh quality and ranges of motion have been assessed to evaluate the quality of the FE models. This functional repository is unique to generate virtual patient cohorts in ASD.
