What are orthopaedic injuries?
Orthopaedic injuries are injuries to the body’s musculoskeletal system. Impacted areas include bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and cartilage.
Types of orthopaedic medical negligence
Orthopaedic medical negligence refers to complications that occur as a direct result of medical malpractice. This occurs where medical diagnosis, treatment or care fails to meet accepted standards, resulting in harm to the patient.
Some examples are missed diagnoses, surgery on the wrong site, surgery without consent, avoidable nerve injuries, retained surgical instruments, plaster of Paris complications and anaesthetic-related complications.

What compensation you can claim
If your orthopaedic treatment results in further injury, poor results or a wrong diagnosis, it may be possible to claim monetary compensation.
This compensation differs from case to case. How much you can expect to successfully claim will be determined by the circumstances of your injury.
Compensation usually covers current or future medical expenses, general damages for pain and suffering, and loss of earnings.
