Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim
Patient initially presented 11/9/01 with cc of left heel pain resistant to previous treatment.Conservative measures were instituted.On 4/1/02, the patient complained of pain involving the left ankle.There had been a history of some significant injury earlier in her life, with a more recent exacerbation.Radiographs were said to depict arthritic change and the ankle was injected.In June, 2002, the patient indicated a desire to undergo surgery for this condition.Thereafter, there was a cascade of surgical interventions including 6/2002 - Ankle fusion; 4/22/03 - Revision of ankle nonunion, subtalar fusion, application of external fixation; 7/10/03 - Removal of external fixation; 10/1/03 - Revision of nonunion with tibial osteotomy for bone transport and application of external fix; 3/15/04 - Removal of the proximal 2/3 of the external fixation; 4/26/04 - Removal of remaining external wires/fixation; 1/10/05 - Tibiocalcaneal fusion with internal fixation for nonunion (this surgery was performed by a partner of the insured).Pt developed a nonunion after her final surgical intervention, and despite the orders of the insured to remain completely non weight bearing, presented on several occasions to have her cast replaced due to weight bearing and break down of this device.The insured recommended a patellar tendon brace and a second opinion with an orthopedic surgeon.The patient was subsequently evaluated by another doctor who performed a below knee amputation on the patient's left leg.It should be noted that insured tried everything with this patient, and she just would not heal.It was she who chose a BKA over another procedure.Patient alleges the surgeries performed were negligently done.
