Mississippi Supreme Court to consider hip malpractice lawsuit

According to the Fort Mill Times, the Mississippi Supreme Court has agreed to hear the appeal of a Meridian doctor and clinic, who were sued by a woman who complained that postoperative care after her hip replacement constituted malpractice.

A Lauderdale County judge dismissed Harriet Cantrell's lawsuit in 2005. The state Court of Appeals in 2007 reversed the trial judge and ordered a trial.

The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear an appeal from Dr. James Green and Meridian Orthopaedic Clinic.

Cantrell sued Green and MOC over what she called substandard care after hip replacement surgery. She alleged she was left with a fixed abduction contracture, which is generally described as a condition in which the hip is in a "stuck-type position" and cannot move.
