Diagnostic Information
 
Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition
Back pain and right leg pain.
Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury
There was no operation, diagnostic or treatment procedure that caused injury.
Diagnostic Code : 
Misdiagnosis Made, If Any, Of Patient's Actual Condition
The initial x-ray of the right femur was reported as no fracture seen. The report was subsequently amended to report a small bump along the proximal femur that could represent an incomplete fracture.
Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim
The patient claimed she heard a crack in her leg during transfer to the bed and was subsequently diagnosed with a displaced diaphyseal fracture of the right femur resulting in open reduction and internal fixation of the right femur. Due to the amended radiology report that claimant's attorney alleged the patient would not have had to undergo an open reduction if the fracture was diagnosed earlier. This allegation was unsupported by an expert and the claim was dropped prior to initiation of presuit.
Severity Of Injury
Temporary: Minor - Infections, misset fracture, fall in hospital. Recovery delayed.
