Realistic mechanical models of biological soft tissues are a key issue to allow the implementation of reliable systems to aid on orthopedic diagnosis and surgery planning. We are working to develop a computerized soft tissues model for biotissues based on a mass-spring-like approach. We present several experiments towards the parameterization of our model from the elastic properties of real materials
