Visible ligaments include the acromioclavicular, coracoclavicular, coracoacromial, and superior transverse scapular ligament. A small portion of the supraspinatus muscle and tendon demonstrates its path beneath the coracoacromial ligament.
Key preserved structures:
- Subscapularis tendon (reflected to expose the glenohumeral capsule)
- Tendons of teres major, latissimus dorsi, and long head of triceps
- Long head of biceps tendon within the intertubercular groove and capsule
Elbow Joint
The elbow capsule is opened to show the articulation between the humerus, radius, and ulna.
Preserved:
- Ulnar and radial collateral ligaments
- Anular ligament of radius
- Biceps tendon insertion on the radial tuberosity
Wrist and Hand
Distally, the model includes key wrist ligaments:
- Palmar/dorsal radiocarpal and ulnocarpal ligaments
- Radial/ulnar collateral ligaments, pisohamate, carpometacarpal, and others
In the hand:
- MCP and IP joint capsules with collateral ligaments and volar plates
- Flexor digitorum superficialis/profundus and flexor pollicis longus tendons are preserved and shown at their insertions
