Popis: The experimental study had the aim of comparing the femur resistance with the resistance of the tibia and the long bones of the upper limb (humerus, radius, ulna). The stretching, compression and bending biometrical forces were measured in 147 bone pieces, out of which 72 in compression, 21 in stretching and 53 in bending. The bone pieces were obtained through processing dead body material in 38 deceased people aged 60- 70 years, after dissecting the bodies during the Anatomy and Embryology course at the Medicine, Pharmacy and Dentistry Faculty at "Vasile Goldis" Western University in Arad. All the results were statistically processed in order to accuracy and precision for the study. There were significant differences between the stretching and bending forces and the cohort in which the compressions were done (p= 0,08). Significant differences were observed between the results of compressing the proximal and distal ends (femur, tibia and humerus). An F-test type analysis was done after the error elimination, establishing different correlation levels between the results obtained.
