The bone pieces still glued to the one joint would indicate they are not surplus new stock, but...![]()
They could be "service exchange" / "planned maintenance" - I worked in the op theatre in an orthopaedic hospital, quite a few replacements done when they came unglued and chewed up the top end of the femur and had to be removed / reamed out / replaced with a fatter one, I looked after the power tools... Some of which are quite elegant, some quite brutal
