Background

Surgical patients have cost the NHS 1.3 billion GBP from 1995. Spinal pathologies can present diagnostic challenges, and the consequences of delayed diagnosis or surgical complications can be devastating and so creating high indemnity costs.

We aim to highlight the spinal associated litigation patterns within the United Kingdom.

Method

Data was obtained from the NHS Litigation Authority from 2002 to 2010.
