Erler-ZimmerKnee Joint with Ligaments

The Erler-Zimmer knee joint model with ligaments is a natural cast of a human knee joint, with stumps of thigh and lower leg. The ligament apparatus is reproduced functionally: the insertion tendon of the rectus femoris, the patella with patellar tendon, collateral ligaments, menisci and cruciate ligaments are made of elastic plastic. This lets you show the main movements of the knee. The model combines anatomy and function in one piece.

The knee joint model is used in training for medicine, physiotherapy and sports science, as well as for patient education, for example before knee surgery. It helps explain ligament guidance and the course of movement clearly.

• natural cast of a knee with thigh and lower-leg stumps
• ligaments, menisci and cruciate ligaments in elastic plastic
• patella with patellar tendon and rectus femoris insertion
• flexion and extension reproducible on the model
• external and internal rotation demonstrable
• removable stand for presentation

The value lies in the movable ligaments: unlike a rigid bone cast, this model reveals the interplay of cruciate and collateral ligaments and works well for explaining injury mechanisms. For presentation it sits on the stand or is held in the hand. The elastic plastic stands up to repeated demonstration.
