The intervertebral disc (IVD) growth, which is at the heart of the development of the juvenile idiopathic scoliosis, constitutes an example of biological growth influenced by mechanical loads. In order to better understand the early development of this pathology, we propose to study a marker of tissue growth which are the residual strains and stresses generated through the biological growth process of the IVD.
