A medical device, allegedly developed using misappropriated trade secrets, was at issue in a jury trial. To help jurors understand how the device worked, Steve Zager asked his client, neurosurgeon Sabitino Bianco, to perform a mock spinal surgery in front of the jury.

On Jan. 21, the East Texas federal jury awarded Bianco $4.295 million in past damages in Sabitino Bianco v. Globus Medical, Inc.
