Reproductions of sequential osteoporotic thoracic vertebrae with narrower intervertebral disc are located on the left of the stand. The upper vertebra is divided in the middle. The magnetically attached vertebral half can be removed easily to show the cut surfaces. This allows clear visualization of the fractured upper part of the vertebral body caused by sintering, i.e. collapse of the bony substance in the course and as a result of osteoporosis. Degenerative changes in the bone, manifested as osteophytes, are also identifiable.
For comparison, reproductions of two corresponding healthy vertebrae with intervertebral disc are provided on the right side. One half of the upper vertebral body is magnetically attached and can be removed.
A detail illustration on the base depicts two 3D micro CT images obtained from bone biopsies. These illustrate the microacrchitecture of the osteoporotic bone, which has a lower bone density compared to healthy bone.

The Osteoporosis Didactic Model – 3B Smart Anatomy (005-1000182) is a specialized teaching tool designed to clearly demonstrate the structural differences between healthy bone and bone affected by osteoporosis. This model provides a visual and tactile comparison, making it easier to explain the effects of bone density loss and degeneration.
Crafted with high attention to detail, the model illustrates how osteoporosis weakens bone structure, increasing the risk of fractures. It is especially effective for patient education, helping individuals understand the importance of prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment options.
Ideal for medical classrooms, healthcare professionals, and clinical consultations, this model serves as both an educational and motivational tool, encouraging awareness of bone health.
Each model includes access to the 3B Smart Anatomy app, offering interactive digital content, 3D anatomy views, and virtual learning resources to enhance understanding.
