This article provides a geometrical study of fractal direction in bones, particularly on a cubitus, based on biomechanical concepts of fractal analysis. First, generating fractal curve is defined and, based on that, elliptical fractal curve. Then propagation direction of the latter is built. Application is then carried out based on the study of a real fracture of ulna bone, under the analysis of mechanical parameters of the bone, in order to obtain the fractal dimension of every stroke and status of the fracture. Methodology developed shows the behaviour of cinematic and mechanical phenomena in living beings considered as complex systems made by tissues, solids, and mechanical bodies.
