Objective:
To discuss the method of constructing biomechanical model of rabbit femur.
Methods:
The sample of rabbit femur was prepared as follows: firstly femur section images were obtained, then the image was put into the computer and processed to get the boundary contour line; secondly, through programming the contour line coordinate for modeling was obtained, then the data were put into the model software to find the three-dimensional entity model.
Results:
Whole three-dimensional model of rabbit femur was constructed. It simulated actually dissection form of femur.
Conclusion:
The establishment of the model lays a foundation for ascertaining optimal parameter of vibration improving bone minery density by finite element analysis.
