The femoral bone model consists of silicone and steel is used as an effective device to simulate falls. In this work, we propose five different femoral bone models and analyse them by using a commercial FEA tool. It has been shown that two kinds of simplified models exhibit the simulated side falls with an error range of ？1% in the impact load of femoral neck compared with full model. Especially, the upper tissue model is found to provide us with the best efficient test environment, attributable to its simple structure.
