Abstract
The conduct of the orthopaedic surgeon can directly influence his or her risk of a malpractice lawsuit. Communication and caring for the patient summarize positive conduct. Filing of a lawsuit requires certain procedures and the physician must respond to these correctly. The surgeon must completely educate himself or herself about the case and be prepared by his or her lawyer for the deposition and possible subsequent trial.
