An orthopaedic skeletal joint demonstration aid for demonstrating the fitting to a skeletal joint of additional different versions of an orthopaedic prosthesis in different surgical techniques comprises a first facsimile skeletal part including a main portion and at least one detachable portion which is detachable from the main portion to permit fitting of one part of a prosthesis thereto, and a second facsimile skeletal part including an elongate main portion and at least one detachable portion which is detachable from the main portion to permit fitting of another part of the prosthesis thereto. The detachable portions of the second part include a generally box-shaped detachable portion which is detachably received within a slot in the main portion to permit fitting of a version of the prosthesis part which does not incorporate a projecting box section, and which is removable to permit fitting of a version of the prosthesis part which incorporates a projecting box section such that the box section is received within the slot. Such an orthopaedic knee demonstration aid may be used to demonstrate a number of different surgical orthopaedic techniques in knee replacement.
