3B® Anatomical Model - Functional Hip Joint

Left arm with scapula skeleton sections are made from durable, unbreakable plastic. All medical quality, natural casts. Wire Mounted.

This elderly hip joint model was developed to provide patients understandable information, e.g. before surgery. It shows the right hip joint of an elderly person in half natural size. In addition to the external anatomy of the hip joint, a frontal section through the femoral neck is shown in relief on the base. The hip joint model shows the femoral fractures that occur most commonly in practice as well as typical wear and tear symptoms of the hip joint (coxarthrosis or hip osteoarthritis).

Left hand skeleton sections are made from durable, unbreakable plastic. All medical quality, natural casts. Wire Mounted. Loose bones, hand skeleton, left (wire).

This osteoporosis model consists of 3 medially divided lumbar vertebrae with intervertebral discs. For anatomical comparison, the upper section shows healthy bone structure, the middle section osteoporotic bone structure and the lower section advanced osteoporotic bone structure with flattened plates, deformation and decreased bone mass. For detailed anatomical study the vertebrae can be removed from the stand. The osteoporosis model is a great high quality anatomical teaching.

The mini knee joint has been reduced to a half of the natural size of a human knee but has kept all of the functionality of the larger knee joint models. In addition to the external anatomical structures of the knee, using the superb new knee joint cross-section mounted on the base, the medical or teaching professional now has the possibility to explain what is happening from "within" the knee joint.
