Learn about the key mechanics of the atlantoaxial joints with this detailed 3D model. The visualization focuses on the complex articulation between the atlas (C1) and axis (C2), highlighting the unique odontoid process (dens) and its crucial stabilizing ligaments, such as the transverse ligament. The model demonstrates the joint's primary role in enabling the head's rotational motion, as well as its contribution to limited flexion and extension. This resource is indispensable for students and clinicians, offering an interactive perspective on the anatomy governing cervical rotation.
