Orthopedic Malpractice

Medical Malpractice Lawyers Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas

Orthopedic surgeons work on both the spine and long bones. Orthopedic malpractice is rarely a simple process. Although medical records may not show orthopedic malpractice, imaging studies including CT scans, X-rays, and MRIs, can be key in evaluating an orthopedic malpractice case. Our firm consults with radiologists in various fields who are able to put the pieces of a complicated orthopedic case into focus, and allow for a thorough evaluation of potential malpractice. Orthopedic cases this firm has handled include the following:

Shoulder Injuries - Performing a procedure for shoulder instability on a patient who required rotator cuff repair.

Hip Injuries - Using improper prosthetic sizes and improper placement of prosthetics, requiring additional surgical repair.

Wrong Level Fusions and Laminectomies - Performing back surgeries at a wrong level without any pathology or abnormality, rather than the damaged level.

Improper Screw Placement During Spine Surgery - Inserting screws into spine at improper angle, injuring a healthy disc below.

Failed Orthopedic Devices Inside the Spine - Failed pedicle screws, requiring additional corrective surgery.

Failure to Diagnose Non-Union - Resulting in severe angulation of a long bone.

Failure to Diagnose an Allograph Spacer Migrating in the Spine - Following fusion, undetected migration resulted in impingement of nerve, causing permanent injury and foot drop.
