How the model is used in teaching
At the knee, the lower end of the femur meets the upper end of the tibia, and the patella (kneecap) sits in front of the joint. Together they form a modified hinge joint that bends and straightens the leg and carries body weight during standing, walking and running.
Because this model is fixed rather than articulated, it is most useful for naming and locating the structures rather than showing movement. Its compact size makes it easy to pass around a group or keep on a shelf beside the skeleton, and it pairs well with a life-size functional knee when the class moves on to joint movement.
- Identify the femur above the joint and the tibia below it.
- Locate the patella at the front of the knee.
- Trace the general outline of the joint surfaces and supporting structures.
- Relate the model to bending and straightening of the student's own knee.
