This comprehensive 3D model visualizes the joints of the thoracolumbar region, combining both thoracic and lumbar articulations. View the intervertebral discs, costovertebral joints, and zygapophyseal joints. The model highlights how the thoracolumbar junction transitions from the rib-bearing thoracic vertebrae to the more mobile, weight-bearing lumbar vertebrae. Study this region’s complex joint architecture to understand movement mechanics, postural support, and common sites of joint stress or dysfunction.
