Orthopaedic claims for medical negligence compensation

Orthopaedic treatment refers to the diagnosis, management and healing of musculoskeletal problems – those concerning bone and muscle. Orthopaedic claims for medical negligence compensation arise from many issues and George Ide solicitors in Chichester can help you pursue a claim should you feel that your care and treatment has been mismanaged or of substandard quality.

Common orthopaedic claims

Even minor soft-tissue damage can, if not treated properly, lead to long-term debilitation. While inadequate management of more serious musculoskeletal problems can lead to major illness.

Grounds for an orthopaedic claim are manifold and include:

• Failure to investigate and diagnose;
• Failure to act appropriately on test and investigation results;
• Failure to refer for investigation or to treat;
• Sub-standard care following treatment; and
• Wrongful discharge.

Plus, specifically:

• Failure to identify DDH (developmental dysplasia of the hip);
• Failure to diagnose fractures;
• Failure to recognise cancer symptoms;
• Incorrect bone-setting which leads to pain and/or life-altering conditions; and
• Delays which cause compartment syndrome, compression of muscles and nerves which leads to necrosis.
