I sort of remember a gag about her not having a sense of humor and hence missing a funny bone. but I could be misremembering. I can't find corroboration at the moment, maybe it will jog someone elses memory.

There's the problem that Futurama's humans only have four fingers, so they should have fewer bones than current humans, meaning Leela actually has more bones than regular humans in Futurama's reality, right?

We can see from the image below (from season 6) that Leela's skeleton is completely normal from the neck down. That would strongly imply that the bone that she's missing is within her skull or upper neck.
Presumably she's missing her nasal bone, since that would conflict with her big centrally-located eye.

@BCdotWEB - Attached by a skin-flap, I think we can assume, or otherwise integrated into the maxilla plate. Note that it's much lower down her face than a normal nose

How does she even have a nose? She wouldn't have a nose bridge due to her cyclopsia at least. This is something that a lot of fan art ignores I've noticed.
