Orthopaedic and trauma cases

Orthopaedics is the branch of surgery concerned with conditions of the musculoskeletal system.

A claim for clinical negligence can arise from negligent orthopaedic treatment.

Many hundreds of orthopaedic assessments are made every day in the UK.  Unfortunately, on a relatively small number of occasions, errors can be made.

Such errors can include:

• Damage to nerves during surgery;
• Failure to manage a fracture appropriately;
• Misinterpretation of X-rays;
• The misdiagnosis of a scaphoid fracture;
• Damage to circulation following medical procedures or surgery
