Surgical Fixation of the Right Lower Leg and Foot - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This medical exhibit features one skeletal view of the bones of the lower leg and foot created to illustrate the fractures of the tibia, fibula and calcaneus. It also includes the severe avulsion injury to the foot. An inset of the comminuted angulated tranverse fracture of the right fibula and tibia of included. Also, three steps of the surgical fixation procedure are shown including the debridement of the necrotic degloved skin of the foot, the fixation of the fractured calcaneus, and finally the anteromedical parapatellar incision and tibial fixation with a intramedullary rod.
"Thank you very much for the great work on the medical exhibits. Our trial
resulted in a $16 million verdict for a 9 year old boy with catastrophic
injuries, and the medical illustrations definitely played key role in the
trial."

"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."

and price were better than I could have asked for. Please add me to your

"Whether it's demonstrating a rotator cuff tear, neck movement a few
milliseconds after rear impact, or a proposed lumbar fusion, the Doe Report
represents an instant on-line database of medical illustration for
health-care and legal professionals.
Illustrations can be purchased 'as is' or modified within hours and sent
either electronically or mounted on posterboard. An illustration is worth a
thousand words, as juries perk up and look intently to capture concepts
that are otherwise too abstract. Start with good illustrations, a clear and
direct voice, a view of the jury as 12 medical students on day one of
training, and your expert testimony becomes a pleasure, even on cross
examination. An experienced trial lawyer should also emphasize these
illustrations at the end of trial, as a means of visually reinforcing key
concepts covered.
As a treating physician, I also use these accurate illustrations to educate
my own patients about their medical conditions. The Doe Report is an
invaluable resource, and its authors at MLA have always been a pleasure to
work with."
