Hammertoe and Claw Toe Correction - Medical Animation
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: The middle joint found in eight of your toes is called the proximal interphalangeal or PIP joint. Hammertoe and claw toe are conditions where one or more of your toes stay in an abnormally bent position. If you have a hammertoe, the PIP joint is bent so that your toe looks like a hammer. If you have a claw toe, the joint where your foot and toe meet is bent upward while the PIP joint is bent downward. This makes your toe look like a claw. If non-surgical treatments don't work, your healthcare provider may advise you to have a surgical procedure, such as PIP arthroplasty and fusion, to straighten your toe. To start the procedure, your surgeon will make an incision on the top of your toe. Ligaments and tendons over toe bones may be cut to expose the joint. Next, the ends of the two bones will be removed. This allows more room for the toe to relax and straighten. Sometimes, a pin or other fixation device will be inserted through the bones to keep your toe straight while it heals. At the end of the procedure, the incision will be closed with sutures. Your surgeon may also place your toe in a cast or a splint while it heals. As the joint heals, scar tissue will form fussing the two bones together. If a pin is used, it will be removed in your doctor's office after a few weeks. To find out more about hammertoe or claw toe procedures, talk to your healthcare provider.

What attorneys say about MLA and The Doe Report:
"It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Medical Legal Art. We have used their services for three years and always found their professionalism, quality of work, and timely attention to detail to exceed our expectations. We recently settled two complicated catastrophic injury cases. One medical malpractice case involving a spinal abscess settled for 3.75 million and the other involving injuries related to a motor vehicle accident settled for 6.9 million. We consider the artwork provided by MLA to have been invaluable in helping us to successfully conclude these cases.

I highly recommend MLA to anyone seeking high quality, detailed medical legal artwork."

"I thought you might want to know that after we sent a copy of your illustration to the defendants, with a copy to the insurance company, they increased their offer by an additional million dollars and the case was settled for $1,900,000.00.

I appreciate your help!"

"This past year, your company prepared three medical illustrations for our cases; two in which we received six figure awards; one in which we received a substantial seven figure award. I believe in large part, the amounts obtained were due to the vivid illustrations of my clients' injuries and the impact on the finder of fact."

"At 3 PM it hit me--I needed exhibits of a tracheostomy, a coronary artery bypass and a deep vein thrombosis--all in time for a for-trial video deposition the next day. The Doe Report had each exhibit on line. In addition, I ran across an exhibit I hadn't even thought of: reduced ejection fraction after a heart attack. Because this was a video deposition, I could use the e-mail version of the medical exhibit, print it on my color copier, and let the camera zoom in. For $400, less than one blow-up by one of The Doe Report's competitors, I got four first-rate exhibits in less than a day. The Doe Report saved me time and money."
