Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim
Patient was first seen by insured on 7/2/13 when she was admitted to the hospital ER after a twisting injury to the right ankle, causing a right ankle fracture. Insured successfully performed an ORIF procedure at that time. Patient saw insured in his office on 11/20/13 with complaints of severe pain of the right ankle and foot due to arthritis. As a result, it was decided that she would undergo a triple arthrodesis, which was performed on 11/29/13. On 12/4, patient presented to insured with a "burn wound" on the medial right leg and was given a prescription for Augmentin. The patient continued to be treated for the wound. On 01/23/14, insured had patient admitted to the hospital for hardware removal and excisional debridement of the right leg ulcer and application of graft material. On 02/17, patient was again admitted to the hospital for treatment of an infected surgical wound. She subsequently developed osteomyelitis and, as a result, insured removed surgical hardware from the right calcaneus and right tibia and applied antibiotic beads in the affected area on 02/25. Patient alleges she sustained a burn during the initial surgery, which led to skin grafts and infections requiring hospitalization and further surgery.
Severity Of Injury
Temporary: Minor - Infections, misset fracture, fall in hospital. Recovery delayed.

Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim
Patient was hospitalized on 3/26/17 for a comminuted right calcaneus. Lab work showed patient was within acceptable range for surgery and was cleared by the hospitalist and anesthesia. Insured and co-defendant performed an open reduction internal fixation on 3/27/17. Patient followed up with both insured and co-defendant for three weeks before being sent back to the hospital for cellulitis of the right foot. Insured noted the patient was non-compliant with wound care instructions and taking antibiotics as prescribed. Patient continued to be non-compliant resulting in cellulitis and eventually osteomyelitis which required three more hospitalizations. Patient went on to treat with another doctor for the non-healing wound to include additional surgery. No amputation occurred. Patient alleges failure to provide an antibiotic regimen postoperatively and at discharge, failure to consult with Infectious Disease specialist, failure to consult with surgeon proficient in performing surgery on comminuted calcaneal fracture; failure to transfer to a trauma center, failure to properly diagnose and treat patient¿s anemia, failure to contact a nurse supervisor when IV antibiotics were discontinued prior to discharge, failure to provide proper wound care upon discharge. Patient also alleges surgery should not have been performed because patient was unstable and anemic.
Severity Of Injury
Temporary: Minor - Infections, misset fracture, fall in hospital. Recovery delayed.
