Total Hip Replacement - Medical Animation
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: Your hip joint has two bones that fit together like a ball and a socket. The ball is the top of your femur or thighbone, called the femoral head, and the socket in your pelvis is called the acetabulum. A total hip replacement is usually done if you have severe pain caused by arthritis, injury, or other diseases that damage your hip. During the procedure, your hip joint will be replaced with new, man-made parts called the prosthesis. The socket part of the prosthesis is a cup called the acetabular component, and the ball part is called the femoral component. To start the procedure, your surgeon will make an incision over your hip. Once your hip joint is reached, your surgeon will dislocate your hip joint. Any damaged cartilage or bone in the acetabulum will be removed. The socket, which may be deformed, will be reshaped to fit the acetabular component. Then the acetabular component will be placed in the socket. Special cement or screws may be used to hold it in place. To prepare the femur, your surgeon will remove the femoral head. The cut end will be shaped to fit the femoral component. Then the femoral component will be inserted into your femur. It may be held in place with cement. At this point, your surgeon will put the ball of the femoral component into the new socket. With your new hip joint in place, your surgeon will test its motion and stability. At the end of the procedure, your incision will be closed with stitches or staples. To find out more about a total hip replacement, talk to your healthcare provider.

"I have found that the personalized medical illustrations prepared by Medical Legal Art have been very accurate and helpful. The medical doctors, both treating physicians and expert witnesses, have commented on the accuracy and professionalism of the medical illustrations. Most importantly, your prompt service and attention upon even short notice has been tremendous. I can certainly say that the medical illustrations prepared by Medical Legal Art have assisted us in bringing cases to a successful resolution."

Paul L. Redfearn

"Medical illustrations are essential during trial for any medical malpractice case. The people at MLA have the uncanny ability of creating medical illustrations that simplify the most complex of medical concepts and human anatomy to a lay audience. The exhibits of MLA allow experts to easily describe complex concepts and human anatomy in a manner that could not be done otherwise.

In addition, their custom illustrations show in great detail the extent of injuries suffered and the devastating effects they have had on the client's anatomy. These custom illustration can show, side by side, the body before and after a catastrophic injury. The effect of this juxtaposition is unmatched by any testimony that can be adduced at the time of trial.

Even jurors after trial have commented on the ease with which they grasp medical concepts and anatomy once the MLA exhibits were introduced and used by my experts. Even judges who have "seen it all" are thoroughly impressed by the detail and sophistication of the illustrations.

I would not want to try a case without them."

"I wanted to thank you for the terrific job you did illustrating my client's injuries. The case was settled at the pre-suit mediation, and I believe a good part of the success we had was due to the medical legal art you prepared.

Your work received the ultimate compliment at the conclusion of the mediation. The hospital risk manager took the exhibit with them at the conclusion of mediation, and will be using it to train nurses on how to prevent bed sores..."
