Abstract :
By using the bone remodeling technique, the physiological solutions and stress distributions of the tibial bone and impact conditions causing the fracture in the bone have been found using computational simulations. Also, assuming that the energy carried by the moving object´s mass before collision is totally transferred to the tibial bone during impact, this paper presented the total energy that causes the tibia to fracture. The results can be compared to the empirical results found by other scientists, and the data could help improve the surgical treatment of knee arthroplasty.
