Description
Injuries of the knee are relatively common in sports, but can occur under even normal everyday activities such as walking or squatting. It is important for medical professionals, especially those in orthopedics or physical therapy, to have a strong understanding of potential injuries of this area. This unique anatomical model of the human knee offers a view of the various types of tear that can occur with an injury of the menisci. The model includes examples of horizontal, flap, bucket handle, degenerative, radial, and longitudinal tears. The accompanying keycard clearly explains where each of these tears can occur, as well as additional facts.
Many professionals pair this model with a detailed chart like the Knee Injuries Anatomical Chart.
While this knee offers a small amount of flexibility, it should not be used as a functional knee model.
