Project Description
Plaintiff alleged that the defendant surgeon had used a tibial and femoral implant that was too big for the knee, and that they were placed incorrectly (rotated) resulting in poor function of the knee. X-rays confirmed those findings. Exhibits were needed to demonstrate how the x-rays confirmed the errors and what those mistakes meant for the function of the implant and knee. Exhibit A illustrates the findings from the post-op x-rays, and Exhibit B illustrates how those mistakes affect the biomechanics of the knee replacement.
