Description
Appellant, Ronald Osborn, appeals from an adverse judgment, after trial by jury, on his claim of medical malpractice against respondents, John W. Collins, M.D., and the corporation by which Dr. Collins was employed, Orthopaedic Association of Kansas City, Inc. On July 27, 1980, Dr. Collins performed surgery on Osborn's broken right leg. In repairing the break, Dr. Collins inserted a metal plate, affixed by screws, into Osborn's right leg. A clamp was used to hold the metal plate in place while the screws were inserted. During the operation a piece of the clamp broke off and remained in Osborn's leg when the wound was closed. The piece of broken clamp was not discovered by Dr. Collins until he observed it on an x-ray after the operation.
