Real Human Foot – Antique

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 foot is a complex anatomical structure found in many vertebrates, serving as the terminal portion of the limb that bears weight and facilitates locomotion. In humans, the foot is a robust and intricate mechanical system consisting of 26 bones, 33 joints, and over a hundred muscles, tendons, and ligaments, all working together to support movement and stability.
