Scapula Model

Anatomical Scapula Model: What Is It?

Applications of the Anatomical Scapula Model

1. Medical Education
   Teaches students scapular landmarks, bone structure, and shoulder joint mechanics in anatomy courses.
2. Orthopedic Training
   Helps surgeons plan scapular fracture repairs or reconstruction surgeries through preoperative simulation.
3. Patient Communication
   Doctors use it to explain injuries (e.g., winged scapula) or surgeries (e.g., scapular plating) to patients.
4. Rehabilitation Education
   Physical therapists demonstrate how scapular positioning affects shoulder stability and rehab exercises.
5. Biomechanics Research
   Supports studies on scapular movement and its role in shoulder function or injury mechanisms.
