Diagnostic Information

Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition
Swollen and painful sprained ankle, left
Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury
03-10-06 - Arthroscopic synovectomy with primary repair of anterior talofibular ligament, left; 04-07-06 - Primary repairs of tibialis anterior and extensor hallucis longus tendons, left
Diagnostic Code :		845.00
Misdiagnosis Made, If Any, Of Patient's Actual Condition
*NR
Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim
Insured attempted conservative treatment of the ankle sprain; however, he ultimately performed surgery on the patient on March 10, 2006.Subsequent to this surgery, an MRI was performed that revealed a partial tear of the extensor digitorum tendon, as well as tears of the tibialis anterior and extensor hallucis longus tendons.Insured took patient back to surgery in April to repair these tears.Patient claims insured severed the tendons during the March surgery, and that the subsequent surgery failed to repair the damage from the initial surgery. Our expert stated the anatomy of the ankle is such that insured could not have severed the tendons in question without intentionally attempting to do so.He believes trauma was the most likely reason for the patient?s problems.
Severity Of Injury
Permanent: Significant - Deafness, loss of limb, loss of eye, loss of one kidney or lung.
