Shoulder model - natural size

Anatomically, the model shows part of the upper arm bone (humerus), the entire shoulder blade (scapula) with acromion and processus coracoideus and the clavicle (clavicle).



This shows both the shoulder joint (articulatio humeri) and one joint of the clavicle (acromioclavicular joint).



The model shows the different ligaments that hold the two joints together - including:



Corpse. coracoacromial
Corpse. acromioclaviculare
Corpse. trapezoid


In addition, the joint capsule is seen with reinforcements in the form of both ligaments and muscle attachments, as well as the biceps tendon, which passes through the joint on its way down to the forearm.



The model shows the osteofibrous half-roof, which consists of Lig. coracoacromial, acromion and processus coracoideus.

Clinically speaking, the model is ideal for understanding disorders such as frozen shoulder, osteoarthritis (wear and tear) in the acromioclavicular joint, shoulder instability and biceps tendinitis. It can of course also be used to understand fractures, dislocations and sprains.



The model may possibly also used to understand disorders such as impingement syndrome and rotator cuff injury. If this is the purpose, we would instead recommend our flexible shoulder model with muscles and ligaments
