Comprender la artritis de hombro - Medical Animation
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: La articulación principal del hombro está formada por dos huesos: el hueso superior del brazo, húmero, y el omóplato o escápula. Esta articulación , llamada articulación glenohumeral, es el lugar donde la cabeza del húmero encaja en la cavidad de la escápula. Un tejido liso llamado cartílago articular recubre las superficies óseas de la articulación. Un tejido duro llamado cápsula articular, rodea la articulación. El líquido de la cápsula ayuda a lubricar la articulación. Todas estas condiciones permiten que el hombro se mueva libremente. La artritis de hombro es una enfermedad dolorosa en la articulación del hombro. Los dos tipos principales de artritis del hombro son la artrosis, que puede deberse a un uso excesivo por tiempo prolongado o a una lesión, y la artritis reumatoidea. En la artrosis, el cartílago que recubre las superficies articulares óseas se vuelve áspero y se desgasta. Esto ocasiona el roce directo entre los huesos. En la artritis reumatoidea, el sistema inmunitario ataca las articulaciones. Esto inflama el tejido de la articulación y causa inflamación. Con el tiempo, tanto el cartílago como el hueso de la articulación pueden sufrir daños. El síntoma más común de la artritis de hombro es el dolor. A medida que la artritis empeora con el tiempo, el dolor puede limitar el movimiento del hombro. Si tiene preguntas sobre la artritis de hombro, consulte con su proveedor de atención médica.
"I just wanted to let you know that after several days on trial, I settled
[my client's] construction accident case for $4.5 million. Immediately after
the jury was discharged, I spoke with several jurors who told me that they
really appreciated the medical illustrations for their clarity in dealing
with [my client's] devastating injuries. They also expressed their gratitude
in being able to read from a distance all of the notations without
difficulty. Obviously, the boards were visually persuasive. I am certain
that this contributed to our successful result."

"It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Medical Legal Art. We have
used their services for three years and always found their professionalism,
quality of work, and timely attention to detail to exceed our expectations.
We recently settled two complicated catastrophic injury cases. One medical
malpractice case involving a spinal abscess settled for 3.75 million and the
other involving injuries related to a motor vehicle accident settled for 6.9
million. We consider the artwork provided by MLA to have been invaluable in
helping us to successfully conclude these cases.
I highly recommend MLA to anyone seeking high quality, detailed medical
legal artwork."

"Your firm is great to work with and, most importantly for me, you get the
job done on time and with the utmost professionalism. You should be proud of
all those you employ, from KJ to Ben B. I've been especially pleased over
the years with the work of Brian and Alice, both of whom seem to tolerate my
idiosycratic compulsion to edit, but I've not found a bad apple in the bunch
(and, as you know, I've used your firm a bunch!).
I look forward to our continued professional relationship."

"The illustrations have consistently been well documented, accurate and
timely. Most important though is that the illustrations demonstrate to
juries and claims people the persuasive power of visual communication. Our
firm has achieved multiple eight figure settlements and verdicts over the
past ten years... Medical Legal Art has been there with us on every case."
