What is orthopaedics?
Orthopaedics is a big area of medicine that focuses on the human bones, muscles and joints. Medical negligence in orthopaedics is very common because injuries in these parts of the body can often occur. Orthopaedic surgeons specialise in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of issues in relation to related parts of the body. They can treat issues like broken bones, chronic pains, and knee injuries. It is the medical practitioner’s duty of care to ensure that the patients get the best possible treatments at all times, if they fail to do so, resulting in negligence, the patient may be eligible to claim compensation for their damages.
