Hillway Knee is a dynamic and highly accurate
anatomical model with a "true-to-life" feel for simulated
arthroscopic and open procedures. Skin, muscle, bones and ligaments are
present. It is durable and may be used many times by simply replacing
sacrificed ligaments. Hillway Knee combines the skills of a leading
surgeon, a professional sculptor and a plastics moulding expert. For the
surgeon's rooms this model is a highly valuable teaching aid for
patients about to undergo surgery.

A major advance in the field of Arthroscopic training
The acquisition of arthroscopic skills is best undertaken at the
earliest stage with a model knee. When advanced arthroscopic surgical
techniques
are later undertaken, the surgeon is wise to practice
beforehand on models. The Hillway Knee is unique in its anatomic
accuracy and feel. Normal anatomy is simulated and it is exciting to
use. A variety of internal derangements can be simulated.
