Discussion and Conclusion
Patient-specific FE models generated from CT data have become of interest
because of their high potential in clinical practice. Although automatic mesh
generators may provide good and fast geometrical representation of bones, the
determination of their cortical/trabecular subdomains and associated material
properties is still one of the major difficulties in making these FE models reliable
enough for clinical applications. Moreover, relatively fewer experimental and
