Ligaments of the pelvis & hip joint
Product code: HP1004
-
Single Side Left or right side of a region / system / organ.
The hip joint enables movement between the lower limb and axial skeleton. It facilitates adoption of a bipedal stance and can transmit high levels of force during locomotion. Due to relatively high constraining forces at the hip joint, mobility is sacrificed for stability. This Silicone Plastinate enables the structure and alignment of the hip joint to be visualized and explored alongside the joint capsule and associated ligaments. The ligaments associated with the bony pelvis (e.g. inguinal ligament) and sacroiliac joint are also revealed.
