Arthroscopy Model of the Knee-Joint

Skills

A model for learning the techniques in Arthroscopy.

Knee joint is embedded in a smooth cutaneous and muscular cover.

Features

Produced in co-operation with Prof. Dr. Henche.

Natural size.

The anterior outer cover has four access points to the articular internal area, two lateral, one central and one medial opening.

Moreover the arthroscopy model has one lateral and one medial access to the posterior recess.

The Hoffa’s fat body is shown and can be taken off and replaced by an adhesive catch.

The internal and external menisci are anchored by plug-in threads and can be easily exchanged and replaced.

The ligamentous apparatus i.e. the lateral ligaments and the cruciate ligaments are represented nearly true-to-nature.

An easy exchange of the ligaments is possible because of the screw and plug-in joints.

The patellar ligament is shown and the patella can be exchanged.

The cutaneous-muscular covers can easily be removed and the bones and ligaments can then be used as a functional knee-joint model.

The cutaneous and muscular covers are kept in place by four synthetic screws.

The mounting support at the thigh is suitable for mounting in an operating vice.
