Extra help required by litigants after simple fractures--a questionnaire based study.
A questionnaire based interview of 100 patients under fracture clinic review was undertaken to assess the help required with the activities of daily living (ADL) in the first 2 weeks following fractures of the hand, wrist, neck of humerus, foot or ankle. The amount of help patients required was correlated with whether or not the patients were claiming compensation for their injuries. Twenty-five percent were litigating and this was shown to influence the amount of help a patient reported having received with dressing, shopping, cooking, housework, personal hygiene and travelling (p<0.0001) and feeding (p<0.0022), but not with getting in/out of bed (p=0.52). Complications of the fracture were not shown to increase litigation. On average litigants required over 3 h extra help per day compared with non-litigants (6.4 h versus 2.75 h).
