Misdiagnosis of Osteomyelitis/Bone Infection
In the past, osteomyelitis was considered an untreatable condition. Today, it is treatable, but must be handled with the utmost care and precision. If a bone infection is not promptly treated, it can spread to the bloodstream and other parts of the body.
In many cases, doctors mistake the symptoms of osteomyelitis with those of other diseases, such as:
- Gout
- Cellulitis
- Diabetic ulcers
- Tuberculosis infection
- Avascular necrosis
- Bone cancer
The treatments for these conditions are of little help to people with osteomyelitis and unnecessary treatment can present additional medical problems. Our attorneys are well versed in the treatment protocols for diseases such as osteomyelitis and know how to establish causation and liability in these cases. We will apply our skill and experience in medical malpractice law to help you pursue the compensation you need and deserve.
