This article represents a multidisciplinary approach of biomechanics (engineering + medicine) in the field of femoral nails made of austenitic stainless steel. The article deals with evaluation of the three point bend test of artificial bones with intramedullary femoral nails in accordance with ASTM F1264. Intramedullary nails are used in the femur to treat subtrochanteric fractures, femoral neck fractures or diaphysis fractures. The aim of this article is to evaluate and compare bending tests of two bones with implemented intramedullary nails for two types of case. The first case represents a healed bone fracture and the second case a bone with fracture.
