What is orthopedic malpractice?
Orthopedics is a medical specialty that focuses on treating the musculoskeletal system, which includes the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Numerous ailments are treated through orthopedic care, including:
- Bone fracture
- Arthritis
- Carpel tunnel syndrome
- Joint dislocation
- Herniated disc
- Cartilage repair
Treatment often involves the provision of pain medication to make the symptoms of the condition more manageable, such as corticosteroid injections into the joint. If pain cannot be adequately managed, surgical options are commonly utilized. Joint replacements, and ligament reconstructions are some of the procedures performed by orthopedic surgeons. When these professionals fail to adequately perform their duties, injuries can result, and the court may determine that the physician is liable for orthopedic malpractice.
