Misdiagnosing a hairline fracture as another health issue may lead to bone displacement that does not heal. Delayed diagnosis may result in less expensive, easily treatable fractures becoming complex medical issues that are costly to repair, requiring extensive surgery. Misdiagnosed hairline fractures may also result in a bone’s complete break, requiring more invasive medical treatment. Errors in reading diagnostic images may also create long-term effects on your health.
Various diagnostic tests may determine if you suffer from a hairline fracture. Physical examinations are helpful, but testing is likely necessary to determine if you have a hairline fracture. Misdiagnosis often results from physicians failing to provide a thorough exam by using one or more of the following imaging tools or scans:
Medical documentation will indicate the type of testing you receive. Reviewing your records can help a Portland misdiagnosis lawyer determine whether your care fell outside the standard of care most doctors provide for other patients experiencing similar injuries.
No Fees Unless We Win
Misdiagnosis of hairline fractures may occur when physicians diagnose fractures as muscle injuries because of the presentation of pain. If pain persists after an injury and diagnosis, contact your physician or request a referral to a specialist to protect against further damage. Symptoms of a hairline or stress fracture include:
