Jury Returns Unanimous Defense Verdict for Orthopedic Surgeon in Hip Surgery Malpractice Case


A unanimous no liability verdict was obtained by our attorneys in a medical malpractice case against an orthopedic surgeon following a total hip arthroplasty (THA) and a subsequent hip dislocation that occurred days after the procedure.

Hip dislocation is a known risk of THA. The plaintiff alleged that the surgeon was negligent in placing the acetabular cup during the procedure, claiming the inclination was outside a “safe zone” and that this caused the dislocation and resulting complications.

Over a four-day trial, the defense team demonstrated that the surgeon’s placement of the components met the standard of care, that hip dislocation is a recognized risk, and that informed consent was appropriately provided.

After brief deliberations, the seven-member jury returned a unanimous no negligence verdict.
