A summary of this patient’s traumatic rib and spine injuries, created for a jury. Radiology reports and 3D volume-rendered visualization of the patient’s thoracic and abdominal CT scans were used as direct references: the illustration accurately reproduces the deformity/depression of the upper left ribcage, the shape and size of the T7-T8 distraction/compression fractures, and the nature and location of the somewhat displaced fractures at both first ribs and left 3rd-7th ribs.
