Why was the jaw made from the leg bone only?
According to the doctor, there are two types of bones in the leg, one is tibia and the other is fibula. The rightmost bone of the left leg is the tibia, which bears the weight of the body. The fibula is only used to support the tibia, but the tibia has enough capacity that it does not matter whether the fibula is present or not.
How was the fibula bone fitted into the jaw frame?
A 40 cm portion of the fibula bone was removed from the side. It was cut with a machine and given the shape of a jaw. A mold was made to fit the teeth and space was left. The bone and the fine veins of the face were connected using a microscope so that the bone does not rot and gets connected to the body with the help of blood circulation.
