My question involves malpractice in the state of: Pennsylvania
I had a workmans compensation surgeon perform a labral repair (tear from 3 to 8 pm) and place 6 anchors with sutures to repair the tear. Had immense pain for months, reported pain each appointment, called emergency line twice, surgeon stated before an MRI was conducted that he would attempt to pull all of the anchors out.
I immediately contacted a pain specialist who referred me to a shoulder instability specialist who ordered an MRI and Cat Scan. Surgeon told me its clear and obvious via MRI and cat scan the 6 anchors are missplaced, so much that he has enough space to place new anchors in the correct space, when asked if he could remove these anchors he stated absolutely not, it would not be safe. He states that for this to occur its rare, and that I would have to live with the 6 missplaced anchors. I now am ordered to have a 9 month (recovery time) revision surgery to place the new 6 anchors, and I will most likely lose my job.
Is this medical malpractice or negligence? Can anyone help?
Thank you so much.
