Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatus for providing three dimensional, transforming demonstration models that illustrate the way different osteotomy surgical procedures change the geometry of the relevant bones from a pre-surgical state to a post-surgical state.
Claims20
A three-dimensional model for demonstrating a tibial plateau leveling osteotomy surgical procedure, comprising:
- a femur;
- a tibia including a displaceable osteotomy element having at least one embedded magnet, and a body having at least one embedded magnet;
- a bone plate magnetically couplable to the displaceable osteotomy element and the body of the tibia;
- a replaceable cranial cruciate ligament coupled to the femur and the displaceable osteotomy element;
- and
- a support including a shaft, a fixed element rotationally coupled to the femur, and a movable element, displaceable along the shaft, rotationally coupled to the body of the tibia.

A three-dimensional model for demonstrating an osteotomy surgical procedure, comprising:
- a first bone;
- a second bone including a displaceable osteotomy element having at least one embedded magnet, and a body having at least one embedded magnet;
- a bone plate magnetically couplable to the displaceable osteotomy element and the body of the second bone;
- and
- a support including a shaft, a first element coupled to the first bone, and a second element coupled to the second bone.
