- W3037528899 abstract "Background: Although hand surgery is generally safe and effective, some patients experience complications or poor outcomes prompting them to seek compensation. This study reviews malpractice claims in hand surgery using a national data set to assess reasons for litigation and identify predictors of outcome. Methods: The Westlaw database was queried for cases related to hand surgery and medical malpractice between 1989 and 2018. Jury verdicts and settlements were reviewed for relevance, and variables including plaintiff and defendant demographics, diagnosis, alleged reason for malpractice, verdicts, and payouts were recorded. Results: Four hundred thirty relevant claims were identified. Distal radius fractures (21 percent), carpal tunnel syndrome (14 percent), and tendon lacerations (6 percent) were the most common diagnoses. Alleged reasons for malpractice included failure to diagnose/treat (34 percent), surgical negligence (29 percent), and improper procedure/treatment (19 percent). Thirty-six cases (8 percent) resolved in settlement for a mean payout of $551,957. A plaintiff verdict was reached in 98 cases (25 percent of trials), with a mean payout of $832,258. The remaining 296 cases (75 percent of trials) resulted in defendant verdicts (no payout). Plaintiff age, plaintiff sex, defendant sex, and defendant degree had no impact on trial outcome. Cases involving surgeons without subspecialty certification in hand surgery were significantly more likely to result in plaintiff verdicts (27 percent versus 7 percent with hand subspecialization; p = 0.003). Conclusions: This study reviews malpractice claims in hand surgery over the past 30 years. Providing timely diagnoses, managing expectations, and reducing procedural error may decrease the risk of litigation." @default.
