Shoulder Replacement Surgery
A Shoulder Replacement Surgery can be made Simple with Animation
Just because a surgery is a common, everyday event for a surgeon doesn’t mean that it’s a normal activity for a patient. Oftentimes, a jury will consider a shoulder replacement surgery as a minor affair.
This animation shows the serious nature of the process. Everything from cutting the bone to hollowing out the marrow will cause serious soreness once the surgery is through.
Being able to see it with your own eyes is different than what somebody may imagine a shoulder replacement surgery may be like.
An animation can bring to life the sawing of bone in a way that leaves a lasting impact on the audience.
Without a visual aid, explaining a shoulder surgery to a jury without a medical background would be rather challenging. With the use of an animation, the information process is streamlined, and the jury has a more realistic idea of how painful a shoulder surgery can be.
Sometimes people don’t realize that in any replacement surgery, there will be a piece of metal inside the patient for the rest of their lives. Animation can bring an unfortunate, yet realistic perspective to a surgery that emphasizes the magnitude of pain and suffering involved in any invasive procedure.

Most of modern society receives their information via visual and written media, if not exclusively visual. For some people, this extends to learning to the extent that the only way the person can learn is if they’re able to see it with their eyes. This presents a problem for the way most trials transpire. At least a few members of the jury are likely to consider themselves visual learners and will struggle to keep up with the vast amounts of complex information that’s being presented.
The best solution to this problem is to include a visual aid. Allan Barsky said in his book, Clinicians in Court:
“As noted throughout this volume, the purpose of providing evidence at a trial is to educate the judge or jury about the facts in a case. As the saying goes, “Seeing is believing,” so using visual aids in courtroom presentations can have a critical impact on the decision makers. Seeing a torn piece of clothes may be more convincing than just hearing about it.”

Medical Animation
Our cutting-edge animation technology paired with some of the most talented medical experts in the country has allowed us to become industry leaders in creating medical illustrations. We have a team of certified medical illustrators, medical practitioners, and 3D modeling engineers that can recreate any kind of surgery or injury in astonishing detail.
We’ve worked with some of the top attorneys and expert witnesses in the country, and have produced animations so precise, that they have been admitted as substantive evidence, not just demonstrative. A neutral expert witness in a particularly challenging case testified that our animation was exactly what he saw when he performed surgery on the plaintiff after the defendant misdiagnosed the plaintiff.
Medical Imaging Modeled in 3D with Perfection
“Over 2 decades I have used several animation firms nationwide to prepare medical animations based upon diagnostic imaging, e.g., x-rays, CT’s, and MRI’s. The work product was always acceptable, but never up to state-of-the-art standards for cutting-edge animation – until now.
I reached out to Fox-AE after receiving an email from their Marketing Director. The email included a link to an exemplar animation. After viewing the animation, I knew that I wanted to give Fox-AE a chance. I arranged to have the Fox-AE animation engineer fly in to meet our neuroradiology expert and review the MRI together. From there, the engineer worked with the expert to ensure that the animation was an exact match with the MRI. The result was stunning in every respect. The precision with which the animator accurately captured the MRI was without peer. Every person who has seen the animation is struck by its detail and flow. First-rate in every respect. Use Fox-AE whenever possible – your client and the jury will thank you. Opposing counsel will not.”
