The techniques used to reproduce human bone pieces for academic uses are looking for methods which permit to obtain exact replicas of good quality preserving as far as possible the anatomical elements and bone accidents in three dimensions, which is not so easy to get with the existing techniques. With the method used in this study, as a first step molds and exact copies of the leg bones, upper limbs and the disarticulated skull bones (disarticulated for ease of handling) were obtained. The material used in this technique to obtain exact bone replicas was polyester resin, tended to improve from the pedagogical point of view, the teaching and learning strategies for anatomy students. In the process real bones as templates for all actual dimensions, glass fiber, calcium carbonate, polyester resin were used, the latter as a main component of our replica, obtaining a faithful copy of each of the mentioned human bones, finding a suitable fidelity to each anatomical bone accident, which can prevent complications that may occur during handling and acquisition of real bones to health agencies and cemeteries. Therefore, another alternative for the management of human bones for teaching and research purposes in the various medical schools is presented.
