Femoral Fracture Fixation Surgery: Intramedullary Nail - Medical Animation
This 3D medical animation shows the surgical steps to repair a severely fractured femur (broken leg) using an intramedullary nail device. The animation begins showing the anterior view of the pelvis and femur with the broken bone fragments aligned. In this orthopedic surgery animation, a medical device called a reamer hollows out the center of the femoral canal. Afterward, an intramedullary nail is tapped into place, providing stabilization for the healing bone. A screw is placed in the head of the femur to secure the nail.

"We got a defense verdict yesterday! Your exhibit was extremely helpful in
showing the jury how unlikely it is to damage all four of the nerve branches
which control the sense of taste."

"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."

"At 3 PM it hit me--I needed exhibits of a tracheostomy, a coronary artery
bypass and a deep vein thrombosis--all in time for a for-trial video
deposition the next day. The Doe Report had each exhibit on line. In
addition, I ran across an exhibit I hadn't even thought of: reduced ejection
fraction after a heart attack. Because this was a video deposition, I could
use the e-mail version of the medical exhibit, print it on my color copier,
and let the camera zoom in. For $400, less than one blow-up by one of The
Doe Report's competitors, I got four first-rate exhibits in less than a day.
The Doe Report saved me time and money."
