Reemplazo total de rodilla - Medical Animation
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: La articulación de la rodilla se compone del extremo inferior del fémur que articula con el extremo superior de la tibia y la patela o rótula que se desliza a lo largo de la ranura formada por los cóndilos femorales. La cirugía de reemplazo total de rodilla es un procedimiento en el que una rodilla que produce dolor o que funciona mal, se reemplaza por componentes artificiales. Si el médico le ha recomendado un reemplazo total de rodilla, es probable que sea debido a que su rodilla está muy dañada por la artritis o una lesión. El cirujano comenzará haciendo una incisión a lo largo del borde frontal de la rodilla. Después de la separación de los músculos y ligamentos alrededor de la rodilla, el cirujano realizará una incisión en la cápsula de la rodilla para acceder al interior de la articulación. Mediante el uso de herramientas especializadas, el cirujano quitara el hueso y el cartílago dañados en el extremo del fémur y la tibia. Y en la mayoría de los casos, extraerá la parte inferior de la rótula. Luego el cirujano preparará el hueso restante para recibir la nueva prótesis de rodilla. Generalmente, esto consiste de un componente femoral, uno tibial, y uno rotuliano. Una vez que estén preparados los extremos de los huesos, el cirujano cimentará las nuevas prótesis en su posición. Antes de cerrar la incisión, se tomará una radiografía para garantizar que los nuevos componentes de la rodilla estén colocados correctamente. El cirujano cerrará la incisión con puntos de sutura o grapas. Y dejará un drenaje temporal en el lugar para eliminar el exceso de líquido.

What attorneys say about MLA and The Doe Report:
"Thank you for the wonderful illustrations. The case resulted in a defense verdict last Friday. I know [our medical expert witness] presented some challenges for you and I appreciate how you were able to work with him."

Robert F. Donnelly

"A few words about The Doe Report: recently in a brachial plexus injury case, we used an image from The Doe Report to demonstrate the injury. We downloaded the PDF file image, and were amazed at the quality. The hard copies that you sent were even more clear. As well, we could not have been happier when you customized the image and reversed the injury from the left shoulder to the right shoulder, which is where our client's injury was.

The speed and cost-effectiveness of the product made it the perfect tool for our purposes. We will use The Doe Report again in future cases."

Andrew Needle

"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."

"This past year, your company prepared three medical illustrations for our cases; two in which we received six figure awards; one in which we received a substantial seven figure award. I believe in large part, the amounts obtained were due to the vivid illustrations of my clients' injuries and the impact on the finder of fact."
