Medical Negligence claims are only brought when a doctor or other medical professional makes an unacceptable, a negligent mistake.  There are classic signs and symptoms of severe tendon damage which should be identified.  Early identification and treatment can result in return to full function.  Delays in identification and treatment can result in long term limitation of function, pain and suffering and substantial financial hardship.  
 
When a patient suffers tendon damage, they should expect to be diagnosed and treated correctly by the Accident and Emergency medical staff.  Neglignt mistakes include: 

  • Failure to diagnose a damaged tendon.
  • Failure to take a proper history and failure to recognise classic signs of complete tendon rupture.
  • Failure to undertake proper investigation and failure to recognise abnormal test results.
  • Failure to arrange follow up or failure to refer to senior specialist for further investigation.

Effects of Tendon Damage

A tendon is the fibrous tissue that connects a muscle to a bone, acting as a spring and enabling movement. Damage to a person's tendons can affect his or her ability to walk, run and even lift small items such as a coffee cup.

Damage to the tendons through medical negligence has serious consequences for the patient.
