Total knee replacement. The claimant's attorney alleged that a failure to closely monitor the patient's swelling, synovitis and effusions post-operatively contributed to an unacceptable surgical result, complications and need for numerous additional procedures. Although expert review was supportive of the care and treatment, a business decision was made to settle this case without an admission of liability in order to avoid protracted litigation. Dr. Levitt opposed the settlement as he strongly disagreed with the opinions of the claimant's expert, as the patient's care and treatment was appropriate and defense expert opinions supportive. | |||||
