Popis:	The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons has prepared an in-house publication3 entitled “Managing Orthopedic Malpractice Risk.” While not as thorough a treatise as the Malpractice Primer2 mentioned above, it does provide some interesting specifics. The core of data on which the AAOS book is based is a survey of 351 orthopedic claims made in recent years in which the outcome of the legal action is known. This claim data was provided by 20 insurance companies covering orthopedic surgeons in multiple states, including New York, California, Massachusetts, Illinois, and many others. All cases had orthopedic code diagnoses and an orthopedist was the defendant in 81.6% of the cases.
