This replica of a human left femur affected by polio provides a clear anatomical example of how the disease impacts bone structure. It demonstrates how muscle inactivity and reduced weight-bearing due to polio can lead to shortened limbs and underdeveloped bone features. Notably, the diaphysis is thinner and less dense, with a smaller diameter. This model is ideal for medical education, as it highlights the musculoskeletal complications caused by polio and enhances understanding of the disease’s effects on bone growth and motor function.
