Abstract

The extra bones are always matter of discussion amongst Anatomists, Radiologist and medico legal Experts. They are always present as a rule in human body. There is dearth of data pertaining to list of such bones. We have tried to make a comprehensive list of name and location of such bones in human body for ready reference. Clinical symptoms created by these bones are unremarkable by clinicians to prevent workloads. A thorough knowledge is always required by medico legal experts who have to deal with such conditions frequently.
