| Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim | |||||
| Patient had been receiving conservative treatment for an ankle sprain with the insured since 9/14/11. Insured noted that the patient also had a heel spur syndrome plantar fasciitis of the right foot with pain. A steroid injection was given. The patient returned on 1/24/12 with complaints of severe pain and several options were discussed. The patient agreed to a trigger point injection. Insured also discussed with the patient a plantar fasciitis release of the right foot to relieve the pain. Patient signed a consent form for this procedure. However, on 2/3/12 insured performed a different procedure rather than the previously scheduled fasciitis release. Patient was seen post op on 2/14/12 and the sutures were removed with marked improvement. However, patient began experiencing pain and was referred out for a second opinion and returned to insured on 3/26/12 with no improvement. An MRI was ordered which noted there was a defect with the central cord of the plantar fascia. Patient alleges increased pain and difficulty ambulating following the Topaz procedure for plantar fasciitis and alleges additional surgeries were needed. Patient alleges insured failed to properly care and treat, failed to perform the initial procedure agreed upon and failed to obtain adequate informed consent for the new procedure. | |||||
