I could not have had a nicer person dealing with my case. She was always so friendly and I was always treated with dignity at every stage of the case.

Orthopaedics

Orthopaedic surgeons are responsible for treating the musculoskeletal system, dealing with a wide variety of medical concerns such as broken bones and fractures, joint reconstruction, and hip/knee replacements.

Cases involving orthopaedic surgery often involve a failure to perform x-rays where the patient’s presenting symptoms indicate the possibility of a fracture. In these circumstances, the opportunity for a fracture to heal effectively might be lost, leading to further surgery or more intensive treatment to overcome the additional damage caused.

Other examples of cases include hip replacement operations, where nerve damage might be caused by the negligent administration of anaesthetic, or where the incorrect size of acetabular cup is utilised. Cases might also be pursued where there are delays in diagnosing and treating orthopaedic conditions.
