• The aim of this study is the development of an image processing system for estimation of trabecular strength and to investigate the relationship between the loads and the trabeculae in the femoral head. The trabecular system is a useful source of information concerning the mechanical environment of bones which is important in orthopedic treatment. In this paper, the distribution of principal stress obtained by the finite-element model based on Pauwels' theory is compared with that of trabecular strength estimated using the image processing technique. It is found that the result of the finite-element method is similar to the configuration of trabeculae in both magnitude and direction. This result shows that unknown loads applied to bone may be estimated using the inverse finite-element method.
