In this second phase of fracture healing, the callus consists of several tissue types. The response of callus bone to mechanical loading can determine the progress of treatment. The mechanical strain distribution could provide additional information of fracture healing in the same way as for bone remodeling. The architecture and tissue properties significantly affect the strength of the whole callus bone. This article focuses on imaging and numerical analysis of bone fracture healing based on input information obtained from micro-CT scans. The objective of this study is to focus on how different stiffness threshold values affect the load carrying tissue architecture and how this further influences the strain distributions within the callus. Finite element simulations are employed to investigate this. A rabbit tibia fracture callus was micro-CT scanned 30 days" .
