REVIEW OF THE APPLICATION OF FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS AND ITS RELATION WITH THE ANTHROPOMETRY IN CASE OF THE HUMAN FEMUR AND TIBIA

Femur also known as the thigh bone is considered to be the strongest, heaviest and largest amongst all the bones. Femoral shaft fractures are very common major injuries that an orthopedic surgeon will require to treat. The possible cause of the shaft fracture may be the high energy sudden forces which creates heavy stress in the femur shaft that can cause failure of the shaft. This may be the case for tibia also. Anthropometrical variations are also present which plays a vital role in the stress variation. Anthropometric data varies from a set of population to other set of population. The method that can be used in order to analyze any femoral bone and tibia bone is the finite element analysis for number of samples because that will help in analyzing the heterogeneous material and complicated shapes
