Exposition of Müller AO classification of tibial fractures using cadaveric bone models (LB23)

The Muller AO classification system of bone fractures has substantially served osteology education and medicine for many decades. The present study aims to provide a physical representation using castings of cadaveric tibial bones. These models will illustrate the fracture classifications in accordance with said system. Castings will have simulated fractures using surgical and mechanical-force methods. Proximal, diaphysieal, distal, and malleolar fractures will be showcased. Cadavers are supplied by the University of California San Francisco’s Willed Body Program and San Francisco State University’s Human Anatomy Laboratory.Grant Funding Source: none
