Spinal Infection Expert Witnesses

Spinal infection refers to infection affecting the structures of the spine. It can include vertebral osteomyelitis, discitis and spinal epidural abscess and may cause back pain, neurological symptoms or systemic illness. Cases involving infectious spinal conditions can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to recognition, diagnosis, microbiological investigations, imaging, timing of treatment, neurological deterioration, surgical intervention and subsequent outcomes. Our spinal and orthopaedic expert witnesses can provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts may review medical records, microbiology results, spinal imaging, operative documentation and other relevant evidence. They can provide an opinion on matters within their specialist area of expertise.
