The complainant, Mr C, experienced problems with his left shoulder. Following a referral by his General Practitioner (GP), Mr C was seen by a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon (Consultant 1). The complaint subject to investigation was that Consultant 1’s clinical management of Mr C’s condition was inadequate, including that he failed to arrange appropriate radiological examination. Furthermore, that Consultant 1 recommended inappropriate treatment, leading to a delayed diagnosis by which time it was too late to consider operative repair of the tendons.
