The Foot Bone's Connected To The...?
Have you ever wondered what a metatarsus looks like? Or how to diagnose Salter-Harris fractures? Or maybe have a tough anatomy test to study for? If so, Medical Wizards Corporation has a neat application aptly called Bones.
"Bones includes 48 drawings of all the bones in the human body. All are labeled with the various process and important anatomic markings. Additional items, such as facial fractures, hip fractures and Salter-Harris fractures are addressed. A substantial orthopedic glossary of terms is included for those of us that can't seem to remember what a Bennett's fracture or Comminuted fracture is. This is a great reference for Medical students, Residents, Attending physicians, Nurses and Physician's assistants."
This is a slick-looking piece of software, and one that I wish had been available back during my school days. And for once, here's an application for medical workers that doesn't cost an "arm or a leg" [sorry]. You can download a free demo or buy the full version for only $19.99. It may be worth that price just to help you get that "A+" on your next anatomy exam.

I really do like this software! I am not in medical school but its neat to know the proper names for bones in my body. I "found" a bone by my knee that I never noticed before in my life the other day!!! I was freaking out untill I found the matching bone on my other leg. The worse part was that I did not even find the matching bone on my other leg the same day! 8O I think is was the "Apex of head of fibula" that I found. Sounds much better than running around saying "some bone in my leg."

Although if your leg bones were broken you wouldn't be able to run around so you can be pretty sure that the bones you found were normal
