Sunie Lasky v. Orthopedic Associates LLC

Summary

In this medical malpractice trial, Sunie Lasky visited Dr. Christopher Mudd for a hip replacement to relieve her pain. After the procedure, she developed complications and had to return, where she received X-rays and was referred for physical therapy. Lasky sues Dr. Mudd and clinic Orthopedic Associates LLC, claiming that the doctor failed to notice a fractured hip, which resulted in her suffering irreversible muscle damage.

Attorneys for Lasky argue that Dr. Mudd should have seen the fracture on the X-rays. They claim that the physical therapy that she was encouraged to participate in put additional stress on the already-injured area, increasing the damage.

Rodney Sharp, representing the defense, disputes the clarity of the fracture on the X-ray. Sharp asserts that Dr. Mudd recommended a conservative course of rehabilitation, which aligns with the standard of care.

Outcome

Verdict for the defense.
