orthopedic examination by Sazyes

Orthopedic examination

A orthopedic examination is a medical examination in which an orthopedic surgeon examines for an orthopedic condition or disorder. A orthopedic examination can take place in cases of absenteeism and disability and as a second opinion. The assessment can be supplemented by a neurological examination, a Psychiatric examination and/or an insurance occupational health assessment.

Sazyes offers the following orthopedic expert services.

  • At adsenteeism occupational disability

    A orthopedic examination provides clarity in complex absence and disability cases. The goal is generally to determine if there are limitations associated with an orthopedic condition or disorder.

  • As second opinion

    A orthopedic examination can also be used to review ongoing treatment, for example, to check it against the most current treatment guidelines. Or in objection and appeal procedures when a client disagrees with the outcome of an earlier examination performed by another orthopedist or institution.

  • At personal injury

    In the case of industrial workplace or traffic accidents, for example, we are called in to indicate whether there is a medical-causal connection between orthopedic complaints and a particular event. If the answer is yes, we also make a statement about any resulting limitations.

Legal liability of Sazyes

Legal liability

Orthopedic examinations in connection with legal liability can be establised in various ways. 'Out of court', both the injured party and the liable party can take the initiative, whether or not in coordination with the other party. Parties can also ask the judge for a 'preliminary expert opinion' to determine whether they have a 'case'. Finally, the judge may also engage a medical expert, both at first instance and on appeal.
