With thousands of people being treated for orthopaedic problems every year, it is highly likely that you or someone you know, has been seen by the orthopaedic department. This could be for a traumatic injury such as a broken leg or a chronic injury such as osteoarthritis.
Errors can be made at any time during treatment, i.e. at diagnosis, prognosis, choice of treatment or follow up. In turn, this can lead to complications outside the orthopaedic area, such as damage to nerves and infection.
Some of the most orthopaedic claims we help our clients include:
- Delayed / inaccurate diagnosis at either GP or hospital stage
- Poor treatment of fractures
- Failure to perform appropriate tests or delay in doing so
- Misinterpretation of x-rays / blood tests / other test results
- Inappropriate/poor operative technique in surgery
- Poor cleaning of wounds following operative procedures resulting in infection
- Poor follow up including monitoring of wounds and dressings
Problems encountered by patients following such negligence can vary and are not exhaustive. For example, hip replacement surgery that was not performed correctly, could lead to the patient suffering a difference in leg length or even amputation of a leg.
