A femur (a) is split in two parts (c) by the deformed halfspace (b). Incorrect knitting (d) is modeled with the blending union operation. The splitting halfspace is deformed by a non-linear transformation  with arbitrary control points.

Reconstruction of the femur and operations on it are discussed in the paper:
