This 3D printed specimen shows a deep dissection of the left pelvis and thigh, highlighting the femoral artery and sciatic nerve from their proximal origins to mid-femur.
Pelvic Structures
The pelvis is sectioned mid-sagittally with pelvic organs removed. The coccygeus muscle, obturator artery and nerve, and lumbosacral trunk forming the sciatic nerve are clearly visible.
Sciatic Nerve & Thigh
The sciatic nerve exits via the greater sciatic foramen, passing over gluteal muscles. Posterior thigh muscles are removed to show the nerve’s tibial and common peroneal components.
Femoral Artery & Muscles
The femoral artery crosses the femoral triangle, giving off circumflex femoral and profunda femoris arteries, while anterior and posterior thigh muscles are removed to reveal deep neurovascular structures, including the obturator externus.
