The Artificial Human Knee
From it's meager beginning back in 1860 when Themistocles Gluck implanted the first artificial knee replacement (made of ivory), to polyethylene and medal components to state of the art custom 3D printed implants, knee arthroplasty is here to stay. Do your orthopedic images accurately tell your story and stand out from the crowd? Call today and see how working with a trained medical illustrator can help get your message across.
The Human Spine
Made up of 33 individual bones, (24 movable), the human spine is a major contributor to one's quality of life.  With the first recorded surgical spinal operation being performed by Paulus of Aegina in the 7th century, humans have struggled to find a reliable answer and relief. Today, through advances in materials, training, equipment, and research, spinal surgery breaks new ground almost daily.
