Real Human Left Hip Joint

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 smaller of the two long bones in the lower leg, running parallel to the tibia. Although it bears minimal weight, it plays an essential role in providing stability and support to the ankle, as well as serving as an attachment point for muscles. The fibula also aids in force distribution during movement and contributes to balance and coordination.
