Surgical Malpractice In Orthopedics
Malpractice is said to occur when a physician does not practice within the accepted standard of care. Any member of the surgical team can be liable: the surgeon, nurses, residents and other medical staff.
Some of the most common surgical issues that happen in orthopedic cases include:
- Not setting bones properly
- Not using the correct size prosthesis
- Damaging a nerve
- Mistakes during spinal surgery
- Amputation errors
- Wrong-site surgery
- Post-operative infection
- Joint replacement errors

The Catastrophic Outcomes Of Surgical Errors
All medical malpractice cases are serious, but surgical errors can be especially devastating. Malpractice victims may suffer:

- Bones that never completely heal
- Temporary or permanent disability
- Constant nerve pain
- Weakness in the limbs and extremities
- Limited mobility
In addition, these issues and injuries can greatly reduce the earning capacity of the injured person, making it difficult to pay the bills. Our South Georgia orthopedic surgery error lawyer will investigate your case, gather evidence and hold the negligent parties accountable.
