Beyond the X-Ray: Reconstructing the Biomechanics of Trauma
Spinal and orthopedic injuries are inherently mechanical. To a jury, a static X-ray of a screw or a fracture often fails to convey the reality of chronic pain and restricted mobility. At Trial Graphics 360, we specialize in converting static orthopedic data into dynamic, 3D forensic narratives.
Under the direction of Dr. Kevin Ho, we reconstruct the relationship between bone, hardware, and the nervous system, making the mechanical failure of the human frame undeniable.
01
Surgical Hardware & Fusion Reconstructions
In cases involving spinal fusions or internal fixation, the presence of hardware is only half the story. We visualize the "why" and "how" of the intervention.
Instrumentation Visualization
We reconstruct the precise placement of pedicle screws, rods, cages, and plates using the patient's post-operative DICOM data.
Biomechanical Impact
We show how fusions alter the natural loading of the spine, often leading to Adjacent Segment Disease or hardware failure over time.
Hardware Failure
In product liability cases, we visualize the mechanical fatigue, snapping, or migration of orthopedic implants.
02
Nerve Root Compression & Disc Pathology
Pain is invisible, but the mechanism of pain can be modeled. We visualize the physical impingement of the nervous system that leads to radiculopathy and permanent deficit.
Primary and Secondary Impact
We show exactly how a herniated disc, osteophyte, or displaced fracture fragment physically compresses the thecal sac or exiting nerve roots.
Dermatome Mapping
We bridge the gap between the spinal injury and the patient’s physical symptoms, showing how a lesion at L4-L5 correlates exactly with the patient's loss of function.
03
Complex Fractures & Pelvic Trauma
High-impact trauma often results in "shattered" bone patterns that are difficult to interpret on 2D films.
Comminuted Fracture Reconstruction
We use Hounsfield Unit (HU) Thresholding to isolate every bone fragment, reassembling the fracture in 3D to show the severity of the initial impact.
Pelvic & Long-Bone Stability
We visualize the disruption of the "pelvic ring" or the intra-articular involvement of joint fractures, highlighting the long-term risk of post-traumatic arthritis.
The "Expert-to-Expert" Advantage
Working With Your Witness
Dr. Ho collaborates at a peer-level with your Orthopedic Surgeons, Physiatrists, and Biomechanical Engineers to ensure scientific lockstep.
01
Peer-Level Sync
We work directly with your experts to ensure the 3D model accurately reflects their clinical findings—from the "grade" of a spondylolisthesis to the specific trajectory of a surgical screw.
02
Laying the Foundation
We provide your experts with the scientific methodology (Hounsfield thresholding) required to defeat Daubert/Frye challenges, ensuring the exhibit is admitted as a "fair and accurate representation."
03
Translating Complexity
We take the abstract reports of Heads of Orthopedic Surgery or Emeritus Professors and translate them into a clear, persuasive visual narrative for the jury.
Trusted by the World’s Leading Medical & Academic Institutions.
Visual & Medical Accuracy
Bridging the gap between complex medical data and jury comprehension through precision-engineered 3D visuals.
✳︎ Founded by scientifically published medical illustrators and legal strategy experts
$100M+
Total increase in settlement value for our clients across high-stakes litigation.
15Years
Years of experience in anatomical modeling and courtroom-admissible evidence.
Multi-Year Strategic Continuity
Spinal trauma cases often involve multiple surgeries and years of pain management. We provide the forensic stability needed for a 3 to 5-year litigation cycle.
The "Before & After" Timeline
We maintain the master forensic files throughout the life of the case, updating the 3D models as the patient undergoes subsequent revision surgeries or hardware removals.
Discovery-Driven Updates
As the defense produces supplemental imaging or expert reports, we adjust the models to ensure your visual strategy remains airtight from the first deposition to the final verdict.
