The increase in life expectancy combined with greater bone fragility over the years is causing a rise in the bone fracture cases. Femur fractures are the most important due to their high mortality rate. This multidisciplinary work is carried out in this context and focuses on the experimental reproduction of human femur fractures by compression. We describe a sequence of steps supervised by orthopaedic surgeons for the correct arrangement of specimens on the system set up to perform the experiment. The device applies force by compression until the human bone is fractured. All tests performed have been monitored and evaluated from different knowledge perspectives. The results obtained have demonstrated the repeatability of the fracture type in a controlled environment as well as identifying the main features involved in this process. In addition, the fractured bones have been digitized to analyze the fracture zone to recreate and evaluate future simulations.
