This 3D printed specimen showcases the ligaments of the knee joint with the leg in flexion, providing a detailed anatomical view.
Anterior View Details
With the patella and part of the patellar ligament removed, the medial and lateral menisci as well as the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are clearly visible. Both the tibial and fibular collateral ligaments remain intact, offering insight into the knee’s stabilizing structures.
Medial and Lateral Structures
Medially, the insertions of the adductor magnus and semimembranosus muscles are preserved, along with the oblique popliteal ligament reflected over the posterior joint capsule. Laterally, the specimen retains the insertion of the biceps femoris and the origins of the popliteus and soleus muscles.
