Diagnostic Information
 
Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition
Severe wedge collapse of T12 vertebra with retropulsion along with advanced disc degeneration in the upper lumbar region and lower lumbar region with mild disc bulges and central spinal stenosis at L1-2 and L2-3.
Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury
On November 5, 2009 Dr. Bradshaw performed three procedures: Kyphoplasty of T12, he treated the inferior portion of T11, and biopsied T12. Dr. Bradshaw treated the inferior portion of T11 with kyphoplasty and placed implants into her vertebral bodies. The implants were bioinert wafers used to separate the end plates and regain the height of the vertebral body. The procedure resulted in considerable reduction of the fracture with approximately 70% of reduced collapse. The patient was seen 19 days later for a post-procedural follow-up and reported initial post-procedure pain improvement however, she still had complaints of pain. An x-ray was performed which showed the T11 stack was unchanged but the T12 vertebral body showed changes that were felt to be new fractures. Patient was then seen on December 4, 2009 for recurrent pain. Dr. Bradshaw added more cement at that time because it was felt that the vertebroplasty was probably not adequate for the remaining compression. At this point, Dr. Bradshaw believed that L1 was fractured as well however; the patient's only complaint was pain but with no signs or complaints of any other problems with ambulating.
Diagnostic Code : 
Misdiagnosis Made, If Any, Of Patient's Actual Condition
Not applicable. This claim did not involve a misdiagnosis.
Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim
65 y.o. patient with age indeterminate fracture noted at T12 vertebra and multilevel degenerative disc disease at lumbar region. Patient had poor response to StaXx procedure, kyphoplasty/vertebroplasty to area with recurrent fracture; a known and disclosed consequence of kyphoplasty procedure. Allegation is of negligence regarding the care and treatment rendered involving a kyphoplasty with StaXx.
Severity Of Injury
Permanent: Minor - Loss of fingers, loss or damage to organs. Includes non-disabling injuries.
