Title: can anybody identify these bones?
Post by: DoctorCongo on May 13, 2015
I am currently doing an osteology module at university and the assessment  includes writing a report on an adult and juvenile skeleton. I found a pair of bones in the juvenile (aged 5-6) and as the photos depict they exhibit a peculiar curving. I think they may be phalanges or metacarpals from thumb which display some sort of pathology, but as I am new to this I very well may be wrong. Any help in identifying the bones and possible pathology would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
