The current research includes Fatigue analysis of Tibia and Fibula bones of a patient suffering fromlower leg pain. The patient is a worker in a Cargo firm and lifts heavy loads of around two quintals or more daily. Thecurrent research is carried out to predict the fatigue life of the patient’s lower leg bones along with identifying theregions of the bones which are weaker in terms of strength. The geometric model of the right Tibia and Fibula boneassembly was extracted from the Mimics software and shared by a practicing Orthopedic specialist. Thereafter, the boneassembly was imported to ANSYS where Fatigue analysis of the bone was carried out.
