Intralesional curettage versus prosthetic replacement for bone tumors - a finite element analysis case of limb salvage simulation in biomechanics.

Background And Objectives: To compare mechanical properties of femoral tumor treatments so that better operative strategy for limb tumors surgery is optimized.

Methods: Fourteen femoral CT images were randomly selected to rebuild 3D models by MIMICS. They were then executed by reverse engineering softwares for simulative modes.
