As one of the research methods used in spine biomechanics, the analysis software of three-dimensional finiteelement has got unceasing development with the deeply further understanding for spinal mechanics characteristic bothin China and the world. It has not only promoted the development of finite element technic itself, but also impulse furtherresearch on spinal biomechanics. This paper has reviewed some recently advances, focusing on the concept andprinciple of finite element method, construction of spinal finite element model, application of finite element method incervical spine, lumbar spine and internal fixation device and so on.
