Orthopaedic claims
Our medical negligence solicitors pursue claims arising from negligent orthopaedic treatment.
Orthopaedic surgeons deal with conditions affecting bones and muscle. Our work covers a wide range of issues but the following are common:
- delay in diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)
- failure to diagnose fractures
- compartment syndrome
- failure to recognise symptoms of cancer
