In current study of femoral head necrosis and femoral neck fractures, more attentions has been paid to relationship between the femoral head trabecular bone within the spatial structure and its biomechanics. In this connection, PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), special square iron, dental base acrylic resin liquid and powder were used to embed and fix human dry femur. Then, M618 Lie Axle Rectangle Desk Plane Grinding Machine was applied to grind the femur specimen, and then air blower clean, two-dimensional cross section image was obtained by using scanner.
