Hey guys. I happened upon this message board tonight while searching around for some various things I need to for a project I'm working on. The project is to design an artificial joint for an animal and a joint that one doesn't already exist for. My group chose an elk knee joint(one of the hind legs).

Well, the only trouble we've run in to is actually finding information on the exact anatomy of the knee, and the forces the artificial join would need to be able to withstand(the second part can wait until much later on I'm not much worried about it right now). Thus, when I came across this board, I figured it was worth a shot. I was wondering if by any odd and elusive chance if anyone might have or know anyone that might have either a hind leg or an elk, or maybe even just the knee area. I'd pay shipping costs and all.

Anyways, sorry to intrude onto the board. Thanks for all of your help.
