Orthopaedic and tendon injury
Please read about our:
Hips, knees and shoulders are all complex joints and when breaks
or fractures occur you require expert medical help to repair
them.
Sadly mistakes are made
by many medical professionals resulting in pain, heartache and
frustration for victims and their families.
Common orthopaedic and tendon negligence claims
Orthopaedic and tendon negligence claims
include:
- infection of the bone (osteomyelitis)
- incorrect placing of pins or plates
- incorrectly placed ligament grafts
- failure to notice damaged tendons
Orthopaedic treatment, if mismanaged, can
result in serious disabilities such as amputations. If a second
operation is needed, this increases the period that you are
incapacitated and in pain, and can make a successful result less
likely.
Many patients have
problems after fractures or joint replacements. We appreciate that
these patients can be in terrible pain and may well be facing
amputations.
A simple cut, if deep
enough to cause muscle or tendon damage, can lead to serious
disability if it is not recognised and treated appropriately.
If this is recognised at
the time the repair can be straightforward; delay and the patients
face a lengthy treatment period that is often painful.
These types of injury can
cause large amounts of problems with regards to work especially if
a patient’s dominant hand has been damaged.
