Natural-size foot model BIX-A1028 — flexible artificial ligament, PVC, plastic base; for ankle and foot anatomy teaching.
...Short answer: BIX-A1028 is a natural-size foot joint model made of PVC, mounted on a plastic base, that shows foot anatomy and a range of foot functions and includes a flexible artificial ligament. The page publishes US $16.20. It does not publish dimensions, weight, carton quantity or which ligaments are represented — and for a ligament model, that last omission is the one to close before ordering.

|---|---|---|
| "Shows the anatomy of the foot" | Bone count and whether the midfoot and hindfoot are separable | Decides whether you can teach the Chopart and Lisfranc lines |
| "Shows a variety of foot functions" | Which motions are demonstrable: dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, inversion, eversion | "Functions" is not a measurable claim |
| "Contains a flexible artificial ligament" | Named ligaments and whether they are replaceable | Lateral ankle instability is taught ligament by ligament |
| "Made of PVC" | Surface finish and cleaning method | Shared lab models are cleaned often |
| "Placed on plastic base" | Base footprint and whether the model detaches | Detachable models are easier to pass around |

A foot model without ligaments teaches bones; a foot model with a flexible ligament teaches restraint. That distinction is the whole argument for paying attention to this SKU rather than a plain skeletal foot.
The clinical literature is organised around named structures, which is the best guide to what a model should show. A 2026 study in the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine reported midterm outcomes after suture-button fixation for an arthroscopically confirmed ankle syndesmotic injury — a procedure defined by which ligament complex failed [1]. A 2026 trial in the Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research compared internal-brace augmentation with the modified Broström-Gould procedure for chronic ankle instability, the classic lateral ligament repair [2]. A review in BMJ Simulation & Technology Enhanced Learning examined 3D-printing materials for medical education, which is the alternative route if you need a specific ligament geometry rather than a general foot [3].
None of these papers is about models. All of them tell you what the model must be able to label, because that is the vocabulary your learners will meet in clinic.

Q6. How do I order a class set?
Email cprmodel@adaanatomy.com with model BIX-A1028, the quantity, and your delivery city.
