I want to create a finite element model of the thoracic spine. After looking at the literature, I realized that some detailed (in terms of muscle complexity, attachment sites, etc.) lumbar and cervical spine models exist, but thoracic spine is not somehow (although a few studies look at the thoracolumbar spine). I will be thankful if you suggest me where I shall begin, and direct me to studies from where I can get data regarding muscle anatomy acting on the thoracic spine with their attachment locations.

Regards.
