We believe education is the greatest gift osteology can share and that every human specimen can contribute to the advancement of science. These specimens are provided to us by retired physicians, medical researchers, dental professionals, and former university medical programs. We also work with accredited donor programs. A small sample - often antiques that simply do not qualify for medical/research grade usage - are made available to osteology enthusiasts worldwide so that they may continue to educate and inform.
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.
