Left Knee Injury and Surgical Repair - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This stock medical exhibit depicts a left knee injury and surgical repair. The first image is an artist's interpretation of a post-accident, lateral X-ray showing the non-displaced fracture of the patella. The next image shows the later, pre-operative condition with an antero-lateral view of the knee joint showing chondromalacia and a medial meniscal tear. The remaining images describe multiple steps of the surgical repair, including the insertion of arthroscopic instruments and the debridement of both the femur and the patella.
