Product features and anatomical detail
- Didactic model for comparing osteoporotic and normal thoracic vertebrae.
- The 11th and 12th thoracic vertebrae are shown.
- Reproductions of sequential osteoporotic thoracic vertebrae with narrower intervertebral disc are located on the left of the stand.
- The upper vertebra is divided in the middle.
- The magnetically attached vertebral half can be removed easily to show the cut surfaces.
- This allows clear visualization of the fractured upper part of the vertebral body caused by sintering, i.e. collapse of the bony substance in the course and as a result of osteoporosis.
- Degenerative changes in the bone, manifested as osteophytes, are also identifiable.
- For comparison, reproductions of two corresponding healthy vertebrae with intervertebral disc are provided on the right side.
- One half of the upper vertebral body is magnetically attached and can be removed.
