Right Wrist Fracture with Surgical Fixation - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This medical exhibit begins with one anterior skeletal view of the right wrist region illustrating the post-accident condition. This image reveals the fracture of the right distal radius. An inset view of one of the actual x-ray images is included. Next, the key steps of the surgical procedure is illustrated including the open incision to expose the fracture site, the realignment of the fracture fragments and the insertion of the fixation plate and screws. Finally, one additional skeletal view illustrates the post-operative condition with all fixation hardware in place. Again, an inset view of one of the actual post-operative x-rays is included.
