Product description

This is a 3d printed human elbow joint. Upper arm stump, radius and ulna. The ligamentary apparatus and the interosseous membrane are manufactured from elastic material.The model allows demonstration of the movements of the elbow joint such as flexion and extension,in addition to the rolling movement of the bones of the lower arm during pronation and supination.This life size model is ideal for patients and students to have a better understanding of the structure of the elbow joint.Other customized anatomical structure of elbow joint,such as elbow joint with muscles,or with more clear details is also available. 

Definition of The elbow (from wikipedia)includes prominent landmarks such as the olecranon (the bony prominence at the very tip of the elbow),the elbow pit, the lateral and medial epicondyles,and the elbow joint. The elbow is specific to humans and other primates. The elbow joint is the is the synovial hinge joint between the humerus in the upper arm and the radius and ulna in the forearm which allows the hand to be moved towards and away from the body.The function of the elbow joint is to extend and flex the arm grasp and reach for objects.The range of movement in the elbow is from 0 degrees of elbow extension to 150 of elbow flexion.Muscles contributing to function are all flexion (biceps brachii,brachialis, and brachioradialis) and extension muscles (triceps and anconeus).
