You may have a medical malpractice case against the surgeon who implanted the hip. If we can get another orthopedic surgeon to say that, based on his/her review of your medical records, the doctor was negligent, then you can sue. That is, of course, the beginning, there are other issues that we consider such as the amount of damages (pain and suffering) and money spent as a result of the doctor's negligence.
