Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim
Patient was involved in a motor vehicle accident on 1/4/14 and was transported from the accident to the hospital where x-rays were taken which revealed fractures. Insured saw the patient at the hospital on the same day and immediately performed surgery. Patient began post-surgical treatment with the insured after being released from the hospital. The patient had a slow healing process that would wax and wane over the next year. Complications would include blisters and ulcers that were cultured and testing positive for infection. The ulcers would be debrided and the patient placed on antibiotics. CT scan taken by the insured would later show a non-union of the tibia and partial non-union of the fibula and a bone stimulator was recommended. During the last few months of treatment with the insured, the patient¿s fracture showed improvement. X-rays taken by insured showed coalescence of the fracture site and complete healing of the tibial fracture. On the last visit, the patient was transitioned from a CAM boot to regular shoes. Patient claims a non-union of the fracture with osteomyelitis necessitating an ankle fusion procedure. Patient alleges insured failed to timely diagnose and treat the infection, failed to provide proper wound care and failed to refer her to a wound care specialist or infectious disease expert. All of the reviewers indicated that a Pilon Fracture is a severe complication and the ultimate outcome of the plaintiff¿s ankle would be a fusion, regardless of the insured¿s course of treatment.
Severity Of Injury
Permanent: Significant - Deafness, loss of limb, loss of eye, loss of one kidney or lung.

Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim
Patient had undergone club foot surgery 25 years earlier and presented to the insured on 7/3/13 with an equinus deformity of the right foot and ankle and was experiencing pain. Surgery was performed but the patient developed a non-healing wound, which insured treated with debridement and a wound VAC and the wound healed. The patient did not return to the insured for a full year, until he began experiencing pain in the midfoot. It was felt the pain was secondary to the hardware placed during the previous surgery, as well as a non-union of the right midfoot arthrodesis. On 5/19/15 a second surgery was performed by the insured to remove the hardware and revise the midfoot arthrodesis. Again the patient developed a postoperative wound and as before the patient was treated in the wound care center by the insured. A culture was taken which showed MRSA and the patient was placed on Bactrim. Unfortunately, the patient developed an infection that required admission to the hospital. The patient¿s final visit with insured was on 11/17/15 and at that time the patient¿s wounds and ankle were healed. Patient continued to have difficulties with infections and subsequently underwent a below the knee amputation. Patient alleges insured did not obtain pertinent medical history prior to and after the initial visit and failed to refer him to a vascular surgeon or Infectious Disease expert.
Severity Of Injury
Permanent: Major - Paraplegia, blindness, loss of two limbs, brain damage.
