The invention relates to a three-dimensional spinal lateral protrusion reconstructing method based on orthophoric and lateral phases, belonging to the field of computer-aided measurement. The three-dimensional spinal lateral protrusion reconstructing method based on the orthophoric and lateral phases comprises the following specific steps of: firstly, setting beginning and ending seed points at gravity centers of a first thoracic vertebra and a last lumbar vertebra in an X-ray film in the orthophoric and lateral phases respectively; secondly, acquiring gravity centers of other vertebras by reasoning transversely and longitudinally; thirdly, fitting all the gravity center points into a curve by a curve fitting algorithm; fourthly, computing the included angle between the normal of each gravity center point on the curve and the horizontal line and the offset of each gravity center point relative to the first gravity center point, wherein the inclined angle between two gravity center points of orthophoric and lateral phases of a same vertebra and the offsets of the two gravity center points form a spatial three-dimensional parameter; and finally, according to the spatial three-dimensional parameter of each vertebra, translating and rotating the corresponding vertebra in a standard spinal model according to the three-dimensional parameter so as to form a spinal spatial three-dimensional model for pathological changes of a patient suffering from the spinal lateral protrusion.
