This paper presents a recently started project which goal is to automatically generate patient specific models for visual and haptic simulation of hip fracture surgery. It includes a preliminary study of a computed tomography (CT) dataset of the pelvic region. The paper emphasizes some issues encountered when segmenting bones in this region, especially in the area around the proximal femur. 1
