Left Leg Quadriplasty and Achilles Tendon Lengthening - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This stock medical exhibit depicts a left leg quadriplasty and achilles tendon lengthening in a series of illustrations. The first illustration shows the beginning of the procedure, in which a large incision is created in the lateral left thigh to expose the musculature. Conditions and surgeries take place bilaterally. The second illustration shows the freeing of the soft tissues of the leg from the underlying bone to allow the leg to move more freely. The third illustration shows several percutaneous incisions made over the Achilles tendon region in the back of the ankle. The fourth illustration shows a detail of the center and lateral cuts made to lengthen the Achilles tendon.
"[I] have come to rely upon the Doe Report and your great staff of
illustrators for all my medical malpractice cases. … Please know
that I enthusiastically recommend you to all my colleagues.

"For us, the defining feature of effective demonstrative evidence is
whether, by itself, the piece will tell the story of the case. Medical legal
Art provides our firm with illustrations and animations that are clear and
persuasive. Their exhibits tell the story in a way that allows the jury to
understand a very complex subject, very quickly."

"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."

copies of your outstanding artwork to show to patients during the informed
consent process."
