The IBEX SCIENCES Human Tibia and Fibula anatomical features are highlighted across their lower limb lines, specifically featured in their specialized Life-Size Foot Bone Joint Model with Functional Ligaments and their Life-Size 170cm Articulated Skeleton. These medical-grade 1:1 replicas deliver a highly detailed representation of the two bones that support the human lower leg. [1, 2, 3]
Anatomical Features & Bony Landmarks
- The Tibia (Shinbone): Replicas showcase the larger, medial, weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It features distinct proximal medial and lateral condyles that interface with the thigh bone (femur) to form the knee joint. The sharp subcutaneous anterior border (shin) and the prominent tibial tuberosity for patellar ligament attachment are highly tactile. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- The Fibula: Represents the thinner, lateral bone running parallel to the tibia. While non-weightbearing, the replica captures the fibular head at the upper end and its crucial role in providing stabilizing muscle and ligament attachment surfaces around the outer knee. [1, 2, 3]
- Ankle Articulation: The distal (lower) ends of both bones are molded to show the medial malleolus (inner ankle bump on the tibia) and the lower lateral malleolus (outer ankle bump on the fibula). Together, they recreate the precise mortise socket that interlocks with the talus bone of the foot. [1, 2, 3]
Production & Material Specifications
- Specimen Casting: Cast from real human specimens to preserve realistic bone textures, nutrient holes, ridges, and proper physiological proportions. [1, 2]
- Durable PVC Material: Built using premium, washable, shock-resistant PVC plastic designed to survive repeated tactile study in orthopedics, physical therapy, and anatomy labs. [1, 2]
- Joint Dynamics: Depending on the specific configuration, the bones are held together using a flexible artificial layout or wire mounts to demonstrate the superior and inferior tibiofibular joints. [1, 2]
