Flexible hip model with muscles that can be separated into 7 parts

Anatomically, the model shows the iliac bone, ischium, pubic bone and the femoral head with the femoral neck and part of the femur. The model also shows a hint of the ligaments that belong to the hip joint.



Furthermore, the model shows cartilage-covered joint surfaces in light blue, several muscles as well as color markings for other muscles in the region (in red and darker blue on bones).

In terms of movement, the articulated model is flexible and can be separated into 7 parts. Muscles that are represented on the model can thus be removed, after which the femur can be moved freely to demonstrate movements such as abduction and rotation.

Clinically, the model is ideal for understanding osteoarthritis (wear and tear) and intra-articular sprains. It can also be used to understand disorders such as piriformis syndrome, external hip impingement, internal impingement hip, luxation (joint slippage) and fractures.
