This real human phalange (finger bone) exhibits clear pathological changes, with visible irregular bone growth and surface alteration around the joint region. The shaft remains well-defined, while the affected area demonstrates how disease or stress can impact bone structure and joint integrity.

A unique and informative specimen for pathology study, osteology collections, or medical education, offering a detailed look at phalange anatomy and skeletal variation in a compact form.

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.
