Neglected Fracture Causes Finger Deformity
The hospital did not perform a thorough examination, conduct an x-ray, or refer our client to the Hand Surgeon.
Our client had sustained an injury to her finger and attended the A&E Department at Hospital to be diagnosed with a fracture.
The hospital did not perform a thorough examination, conduct an x-ray, or refer our client to the Hand Surgeon, the injury was not operated on. Had the Hand Surgeons had any involvement and surgical intervention carried out, our client would have had less chance of any subsequent deformity developing and she would have had a good prognosis of full resolution of her symptoms.
Should our client decide to undergo surgery to attempt to correct her injury now, the surgery will need to be more complex than what it would have been had it been initially performed and there is no guarantee that this will improve our client’s symptoms.
