Human Fracture Set FM-501-SET Human male European American, 62 years old at death due to alcoholism. Age, sex, and ancestry were documented at the time of the individual's death. All of the Individual bones are also available. Please see the Related Products below. There are poorly aligned healed fractures of the right and left tibiae and fibulae and left femur. The left femur head is separate from the shaft at the neck, intracapsular femoral neck fracture, and a pseudoarthrosis (false joint) has formed at the site. This kind of pathological condition is relatively rare in modern populations, as most people receive more complete medical treatment of such fractures. These casts make terrific examples for teaching and for comparison with paleopathological specimens. Human Fracture Set Larger Image. Please Use Your Back Button To Return To This Page. Please note that specimens from the Maxwell Collection can only be sold to recognized educational institutions and professionals associated with educational institutions. The Maxwell Museum of Anthropology's Laboratory of Human Osteology, at the University of New Mexico, specializes in numerous facets of physical anthropology. The laboratory serves as a repository of human remains and includes prehistoric, historic, documented, and forensic remains. Established in 1984 by Dr. J. Stanley Rhine, the Maxwell Museum's Documented Skeletal Collection has grown to include 237 individuals (as of July 2005) encompassing both sexes, all ages, and many population groups. The skeletal remains are obtained by donation, either by the individual before death, or by the family of a deceased loved one. Information on the sex, age, population affinity, and cause of death is available for the majority of these individuals, allowing students and visiting researchers to develop and test new techniques and theories. Since 1995, prospective donors or their families have been asked to provide health and occupational data as well. With this information, researchers are able to examine the skeletal manifestations of particular diseases including degenerative joint and disc diseases, lymphoma, and osteoporosis, as well as the reaction of bone to repetitive motions and trauma. Recent research has included efforts towards the identification of handedness in individuals, determination of body mass from the skeleton, and variation in cranial damage from various projectiles. The importance of the Documented Collection cannot be overstated. No other institution in the American West has as large a collection of human skeletal remains with such extensive demographic data. Bone Clones is grateful to the Maxwell Museum for allowing us to select specimens for reproduction from their valuable collection and granting us exclusive casting rights to these pieces. |
