Medical Malpractice and Broken Bones
Broken bones are among the most common injuries that may require immediate medical care, but may not necessarily prove life-threatening. However, if a person isn’t provided with the right treatment for their broken bones, they may develop serious health problems as a result. This sort of medical malpractice can leave behind inexcusable suffering and additional health concerns that can be more difficult to deal with.

Consequences of Broken Bone Malpractice
If a doctor or nurse fails to properly treat or diagnose a broken bone, there may be some serious health concerns that develop as a result. In particular, the following problems may contribute to further tissue damage around the area of the broken bone and prolong a patient’s suffering:
- Delayed or wrong diagnosis of a broken bone
- Improper treatment of the bone fracture
- Using metal fracture treatment devices that could cause local tissue damage
- Incorrectly providing anesthesia or pain medication
- Improperly resetting a bone
These mistakes can cause additional injuries to a patient, pushing them to receive additional treatment and spend even more time in recovery.
