Abstract The cortical bone thickness in human ribs is location dependent and varies substantially among the population, which has significant effects on rib fracture characteristics in accidents. The objective of the current study is to quantify the cortical bone thickness distributions in Chinese subjects as functions of the age, sex, stature and body mass index (BMI). The cortical bone thicknesses are measured using clinical computed tomography (CT) data from 60 Chinese subjects for the 1st to 12th levels of the left ribs. Statistical analyses identify differences based on the locations and body characteristics. Sex, stature, and BMI significantly affect the cortical bone thickness distribution in the human ribs. This cortical bone thickness distribution model can serve as a geometric basis for developing a parametric human thorax finite element model for quantifying the effects of different human attributes on rib fractures.
