The Knee, Ligament by Ligament

The Axis Scientific Human Knee Joint with Functional Ligaments Anatomy Model is a life-size knee, cast from real human bones, that bends so you can watch the ligaments work as the joint moves. Eight textured ligaments connect the femur, tibia, fibula, and patella, including the ACL, PCL, and both collateral ligaments. A full-color study guide identifies 18 structures, and a base stand keeps the model upright on any desk or lab table. Add it to your cart today, or request a quote for your classroom.

Where Stability Meets Movement

This model helps students connect the structure of the knee to how it moves and why it gets injured. Flex the joint to see how the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments cross inside the knee to limit forward and backward movement of the tibia, while the medial and lateral collateral ligaments brace each side. Locate the patellar ligament, the medial and lateral menisci, and the posterior meniscofemoral ligament, then relate each structure to common injuries like ACL and PCL tears. It's a hands-on way to review joint anatomy before a practical or to walk a patient through an injury.

One Joint, Plenty of Conversations

At just 12 inches tall, this model fits wherever you teach, study, or treat.

• Students: Keep it on your desk and quiz yourself with the study guide before exams and practicals.
• Orthopedists and orthopedic surgeons: Show patients exactly which ligament is injured and explain what surgery involves.
• Physical and occupational therapists: Demonstrate joint positioning, movement, and stability as patients work through rehab.
• Sports medicine professionals and athletes: Visualize the ACL and PCL injuries that are common in sports.
• Artists: Study bony landmarks and joint form for figure drawing and sculpture.

Built to Move Like the Real Joint

• Flexible ligaments: The joint bends through flexion and extension without coming apart.
• Textured bone surfaces: Bony landmarks and realistic textures make each structure easy to identify by sight and touch.
• Full-color study guide: Photographs of the model with a numbered list of every identified structure.
• Sturdy base stand: Holds the knee upright for study and display and makes it easy to carry between rooms.
• 3-year warranty: Axis Scientific issues replacements without requiring you to send the model back for inspection.
