Medical Negligence
Negligent Orthopaedic Surgery Compensation

Negligent Orthopaedic Surgery Compensation

Orthopaedic surgery is generally both highly-successful and very safe. Occasionally, however, a mistake is made, whether in the actual surgery or in allowing the development of infection at the site of the procedure, which can cause significant and even catastrophic problems for the patient.

If the patient's long-term problems are considered to be due to failings by the medical professionals responsible for their care, it may be appropriate to make a claim for compensation. Contact Glynns Solicitors to talk to a specialist medical negligence solicitor.

Poor-quality surgery

Orthopaedic surgery requires extensive knowledge, care and skill. Where errors are made, a prompt and competent response is necessary. A failure to recognise that a mistake has occurred can prove problematic in the extreme for the patient and may justify a claim for compensation if the medical professional is considered to be at fault.

The long-term impact of an error in orthopaedic surgery can be permanently disabling and life-changing, affecting the patient's ability to function independently and to work.

The emotional impact can be considerable, too.

Surgical site infection

Orthopaedic surgery opens the body to the risk of infection and all possible action should be taken by medical practitioners to prevent such an outcome and, where it occurs, to make sure that it is diagnosed and treated at the soonest possible opportunity and with the minimum of impact on the patient.

An infection in the site may require the patient to undergo further surgery and may risk the success of the initial surgery.

Some patients are unfortunately particularly at risk of infection and may require antibiotics prior to surgery and a failure to recognise this and to ensure that the patients protected against infection may be regarded as substandard care.

Claiming compensation

If you have been the victim of negligence in relation to orthopaedic surgery, you may wish to consider making a claim for compensation.

Where appropriate, this can provide recompense for your pain, suffering and the financial losses associated with or caused by the negligence you have suffered. If you have had to change, reduce or end your employment, you may be possible to get compensation for the income which you have lost.
