Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of lateral bending and rotation of the spine. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a set of theories and techniques for studying artificial intelligence, which realizes machine intelligence by simulating and expanding human intelligence. With the continuous development of the multidisciplinary integration trend of modern medicine, artificial intelligence is used more and more in the diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis. Artificial intelligence has been widely used in the study of scoliosis and has penetrated into all fields of clinical practice of scoliosis. At present, artificial intelligence has shown good application prospects in early screening, diagnosis, treatment decision making, intraoperative operation, and prognosis prediction of scoliosis. This paper mainly summarizes the application of artificial intelligence in the clinical practice of scoliosis, and briefly introduces the AI model and its specific applications. In addition, this paper also discusses the limitations and future development of artificial intelligence. In the future, artificial intelligence will bring greater convenience to the diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis and provide better therapeutic effects for patients.
