Knee model MP1807

for teaching

This 3D printed specimen shows a left knee joint in flexion, highlighting the internal joint capsule and surrounding muscles, ligaments, and neurovascular structures. Proximal Thigh & Popliteal Fossa The proximal section includes parts of the quadriceps femoris and sartorius, with the iliotibial tract visible. The popliteal fossa displays the popliteal vessels, tibial nerve, and common peroneal nerve. Posteriorly, insertions of the adductor magnus, gracilis, and posterior thigh muscles (biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus) are preserved. Distal Leg & Neurovascular Structures The distal section shows muscles of the anterior, lateral, and posterior compartments. Key vessels and nerves include the anterior tibial artery and deep peroneal nerve, posterior tibial artery and tibial nerve, and the fibular vessels. Ligaments & Menisci Anteriorly, remnants of the quadriceps tendon and patellar ligament remain. The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments and menisci are visible between the femur and tibia. Medially, the tibial collateral ligament and semitendinosus insertion are preserved; laterally, the fibular collateral ligament, biceps femoris tendon, and common peroneal nerve are exposed.
