Single Side Left or right side of a region / system / organ.
The ankle joint and joints of the foot represent numerous different types of synovial articulation. Movements at these joints are essential for standing, locomotion, force transmission and shock absorption. This Silicone Plastinate enables the structure and alignment of these joints to be visualized and explored alongside their joint capsule and associated ligaments. The tibiofibular syndesmosis, distal part of the interosseous membrane of the leg and the position, shape and boundaries of the tarsal tunnel are also revealed.
