Our client was a retiree and was referred by her general practitioner to a local orthopaedic surgeon for review following complaints of issues with his left knee.
The orthopaedic surgeon performed a total knee replacement on our client and dismissed our client’s frequent complaints regarding extensive pain in his left knee following surgery.
Our client experienced left knee oozing for a few weeks after surgery, so a wound swab for culture was taken, revealing a severe growth of staphylococcus aureus infection. The surgeon consequently prescribed our client antibiotics.
A few weeks after the revision surgery, the defendant re-opened the left knee joint and recorded severe, extensive synovitis.
The plaintiff was finally admitted for surgery at another hospital and received treatment under a different orthopaedic surgeon who immediately removed our client’s prosthesis as it was infected, inserted a spacer, and excised a great deal of infected tissue and bone. Our client then received treatment by an infectious disease specialist to manage his staph infection and finally underwent a second stage revision left knee replacement surgery under the new surgeon.
Due to the surgeon’s negligence, our client had an inferior outcome from the surgery, which would not have occurred had the surgeon conducted the original knee replacement surgery in accordance with Australian professional standards and adequately dealt with the Staph infection that arose.
We filed a claim against the surgeon and were successfully able to settle the case for our client which included compensation for general damages and past and future medical expenses.
