Broken Surgical Screw Lawsuit Lawyer

When Are Surgical Screws Needed to Be Implanted in the Body?

There are many surgical procedures that use surgical screws. Back fusion cases, when there are broken bones, and when your internal structures need special support – a surgical screw will be implanted to give you the support you need to heal from an accident or injury.

Surgical screws can break after they are inserted into a person’s body. Surgical screws are used to help repair bones, and manage damage to internal structures. These implants can break for a good reason, bad reason or no reason. They need to be placed correctly to ensure that there will be no problems for the person after the implant is completed.

Why Do Surgical Screws Break?

Sometimes implants break because they are defective. Other times, an implant can break because it was inserted and implanted wrong. Once an implant is put in wrong, the implant can be extremely difficult to remove. In these cases, there will be a case for medical malpractice. Often when an implant must be removed, they are hard to get to in the person’s body.

Even trying to remove a broken implant is fraught with difficulties, because the removal surgery can drive the implant further into the person’s body, just trying to get it out! Broken rods, broken heads of implanted screws, have problems that can make recovery difficult to impossible, because of a broken screw. Sometimes, the decision is made to leave in a broken screw, if the spinal fusion is already completed, and taking out the screw will not benefit the person.
