Abstract
Legal actions against physicians in Italy have increased dramatically over the last decade. Studies show that Orthopaedics and Traumatology are responsible for high numbers of cases filed relating to alleged malpractice. The study carried out by O.R.Me. (Observatory on Medical Liability) has the purpose of monitoring the verdicts passed by the Civil Court of Rome. An agreement between S.I.O.T. (Italian Society of Orthopaedics and Traumatology) and O.R.Me. allowed us to analyse the rulings on Orthopaedics and Traumatology.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
