Artificial bones made from biomaterial simulated the physical properties of human tissue are developed by several suppliers. It is necessary to obtain the strength of artificial bone by a strength test in order to investigate the reproducibility and validity of the developed artificial bone. However, an evaluation test for strength of artificial bone has not been established. In this study, an availability of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on evaluation test for strength of artificial bone is shown by comparing the strength of the artificial bone obtained by experimental. The analytical results agree well with the experimental results, because the difference between the FE result and the average of test results is within 6%. Thus, it is considered that the breaking load of a human ulna and an artificial ulna are able to estimate by using Finite Element Analysis.
