Abstract

An elastic bi-medium structure composed of compact and cancellous bone is used to represent the femur. Critically stressed locations are identified and associated static and dynamic load levels which may initiate femur fracture are calculated. The predicted fracture sites and load levels are found to be in good agreement with published data for cadaver knee impacts.
