ABSTRACT: In this paper, the Von Mises stresses and stiffnesses measured by experiments on a human cadaveric tibia and composite ones compared to those predicted by a FE model based on the same bone. Modeling of exact geometrical tibia including cortical and spongy bone using human bone CT scan images and mechanical validating of obtained model, is the aim of this study .The model produced by the current study supplies a tool for simulating mechanical test conditions on human tibia.
