Primal: Interactive Knee 

 

The Interactive Knee presents full knee anatomy in three dimensions.  The model is based on a very high resolution interactively labeled MR.  It is the ultimate educational, training and presentation resource for all those involved in knee surgery and rehabilitation.
DVD ROM : ISBN 9781907061004 Price:  $299.00
Each 3D model can be fully rotated, every visible structure labeled and layers of anatomy added or removed. The disc also contains spectacular animations that feature a biomechanical model of the knee in 3D and coverage of surgical procedures which include ACL and PCL ligament reconstruction, meniscus tears and their repair. The MRI section looks within the joint itself and compares MRI slices in 3 planes (axial, sagittal and coronal) with the equivalent slice through the 3D model in up to 21 slices. What’s new in the 2009 version? There is a new interface on all our new re-released titles, which is more intuitive and user-friendly. The new interface also allows you to make the view much larger, which was not possible in previous versions.  An additional view has been added of the popliteal fossa, which allows you to add or remove up to 14 layers and the multiple choice questions and quiz have been removed.

“Quite simply this product is excellent. For anyone involved in orthopedics, sport medicine or physiotherapy this product is simply a must.” Dr. Michael Hughes, MiArt Technology & Club Doctor, Macclesfield Town FC “..the video clips and illustrations certainly bring anatomy to life, and the imaging has proven helpful in broadening our understanding of scans and potential areas of tissue damage.” Stephen Mutch, Chartered Physiotherapist to Scottish Rugby Union
