Summary
Mr C complained about the care and treatment he received at University Hospital Monklands in relation to hip pain. In particular, Mr C was concerned that the board mismanaged his condition and did not identify that he required a hip replacement following scans and x-rays.
We took independent advice from a consultant orthopaedic surgeon (a specialist in the treatment of diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system). We found that the care and treatment provided to Mr C was reasonable. We noted that, based on the findings of the x-rays and the scan, there was no indication that Mr C should have been offered surgery at that time. We did not uphold Mr C's complaint.
