Bone is a complex material that can be regarded as an anisotropic elastic composite material. The problem of crack propagation in human bone is analyzed by using a generalization of the maximum tensile stress criterion (MTS). The results concern the critical stress for crack propagation and the direction of the crack path in Iliac bone.
