Real Human Fibula

We believe that education is the most valuable contribution osteology can offer, and that each human specimen plays a vital role in advancing scientific knowledge. These specimens are generously provided by retired physicians, medical researchers, dental professionals, and former university medical programs. Additionally, we collaborate with accredited donor programs. A select collection of specimens—often antiques that do not meet the criteria for medical or research-grade use—are made available to osteology enthusiasts around the world, allowing them to continue their educational efforts and share knowledge.

The fibula is the thinner of the two long bones in the lower leg, running parallel to the tibia. While it bears minimal weight, it provides stability and support for the ankle and serves as an attachment point for muscles. The fibula also helps distribute forces during movement and plays a role in maintaining balance and coordination.
