The assessment of the stability of implants in cancellous bone remains a clinical problem. It has been shown that orthopaedic screw fixation depends on the microstructure and orientation of the trabeculae. In the current study we have investigated the possibility of using natural frequency analysis as a means of ranking screw fixation in cancellous bone. A dynamic modal analysis has been completed using the finite element method as a means of measuring implant frequency in a simple description of cancellous bone. A range of impulse excitation values have been examined which lead to implant resonance in different cancellous bone architectures. These values are reported in order that the eventual provision of a clinical diagnostic tool may correctly assess frequency values from the applied impulse.
