Fracture pattern acquisition and representation in human bones play a crucial role in medical simulation, diagnostics, and treatment planning. This article presents a comprehensive review of methodologies employed in acquiring and representing bone fracture patterns. Several techniques, including segmentation algorithms, curvature analysis, and deep learning-based approaches, are reviewed to determine their effectiveness in accurately identifying fracture zones. Additionally, diverse methods for representing fracture patterns are evaluated. The challenges inherent in detecting accurate fracture zones from medical images, the complexities arising from multifragmentary fractures, and the need to automate fracture reduction processes are elucidated. A detailed analysis of the suitability of each representation method for specific medical applications, such as simulation systems, surgical interventions, and educational purposes, is provided. The study explores insights from a broad spectrum of research articles, encompassing diverse methodologies and perspectives. This review elucidates potential directions for future research and contributes to advancements in comprehending the acquisition and representation of fracture patterns in human bone. Full article
