| Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition | |||||
| On 12/16/2010, 19 year old male presented to the ER for a 1cm laceration on his right elbow after falling in a paved parking lot. | |||||
| Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury | |||||
| The 1 cm wound was examined by the insured and it was determined there was mild contamination but no foreign bodies. The wound was treated with local anesthetic and was irrigated with 2% saline under forced pressure. An additional examination of a bloodless field revealed no foreign bodies. The wound was sutured and the patient was discharged with follow-up instructions. The patient presented to another ER on 12/19/10 with a mild localized infection of the wound area. An xray was performed revealing debris in the wound. The decision was made to treat the patient with IV antibiotics and leave the debris in the wound allowing it to extricate on its own. The patient stayed overnight in the hospital to receive antibiotics and was seen by an admitting internist, a surgeon and an infectious disease consultant. Again the decision was to leave the debris in the wound as it would extricate itself. On 1/21/11 the patient was seen by his orthopedic surgeon for an unrelated shoulder issue. Since the patient still had some minor pain in his elbow the surgeon took the patient to the OR to remove the debris which appeared to be small gravel. The patient went on to heal and was left with a small scar next to a larger scar from a Tommy John elbow surgery performed one year prior. There were no complaints of pain or range of motion problems. | |||||
