Flexed Knee Joint 3D Printed Anatomy Model [Pack of 1]

3D printed cadaver substitute showing the bones and ligaments of the knee joint, with patellar removed.

This 3D printed knee model demonstrates the bones and ligaments of the knee joint with the leg in flexion. The patella and part of the patellar ligament have been removed to show the underlying anatomy.

The 3D Human Anatomy Series is the result of a collaboration between Monash University in Australia and German manufacturer Erler Zimmer. The 3D printed human anatomy models in this collection are highly accurate colour-augmented representations, designed to substitute the use of real human cadavers in anatomy education. Each model has been developed from radiographic data or cadaver specimins, providing a highly cost effective and ethical solution to meet the needs of medical, allied health and biological science educators.

In the anterior view of this 3D knee print, the medial and lateral menisci and anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are visible. Both tibial and fibular collateral ligaments are intact.

Medially, the insertions of the adductor magnus and semimembranosus muscles are retained, with the oblique popliteal ligament reflected onto the posterior aspect of the joint capsule. Laterally, the insertion of the biceps femoris and origins of the popliteus and soleus muscles have been preserved.
