Bulletins

  Some injuries and conditions are more common than others, such as the following:-

• Fractures

• Sprains

• Plantar Fasciitis

• Tennis/Golfer’s elbow

• ACL Tears

• Meniscus Tears

• Dislocations

• Carpel Tunnel Syndrome

• Arthritis, Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis

• Neck/Back pain

 Orthopaedic injuries and conditions are treated by Orthopaedic Surgeons who specialise in this complex area and can diagnose and treat them.  Many surgeons specialise in a particular area of orthopaedics because of the diversity of the subject.  For example, there are paediatric orthopaedic surgeons who specialise in dealing with children.  Others may concentrate on lower or upper limbs, or specialise in arthritic diseases.

Healthcare in the UK is of an excellent standard but there are occasions when things go wrong.   Fractures are not diagnosed correctly or surgery (i.e. hip replacements, carpel tunnel surgery etc) are carried out negligently, leading to further problems and sometimes disabilities that would not otherwise have occurred.    Such problems can have a devastating effect on lives and our aim at Metcalfes is to ensure that your ongoing medical, treatment and financial needs are met when injuries have been sustained as a result of negligence.
