This stock medical exhibit features four large views of the right knee comparing the following specific conditions: 1. An anterior skeletal view illustrating the normal anatomy of the knee revealing the proper structure and alignment of the knee joint. 2. An initial post-accident condition with a depressed fracture of the lateral tibial plateau and resulting valgus alignment of the joint. 3. An intra-operative view during a total knee replacement. This image shows the knee joint exposed through a large open surgical incision as the defective tibial plateau is being cut away. The widespread degenerative changes are revealed, including medial and lateral meniscal tears. 4. A post-operative condition with total knee replacement hardware in place.
