For the beginning, a 3D scanner was used to determine the external geometry of a tibia taken from a corpse. Then, computed tomography images were used, which we transformed into virtual solids, using programs that are currently used in reverse engineering. Orthopedic rod models were created in a virtual environment based on 3D scans and direct measurement. Various pathological and osteosynthesis situations of the tibia were recreated in the virtual environment. These were analyzed in finite element analysis programs and the biomechanical behavior in the load situation due to normal human gait was determined. Finally, comparative diagrams were made and important conclusions were drawn.
