An article
from bbc news has reported that Mr
Malcolm Griffiths, a false limbs expert
who worked at Edinburgh's Astley Ainslie
Hospital allegedly fitted a left
prosthetic foot to a man's right leg.
It is
alleged Mr Griffiths failed to spot his
error at two later check-ups.
Mr
Griffiths, an expert in prosthetic
limbs, is due to appear before the
conduct and competence committee of the
Health Professions Council at a hearing
in Edinburgh, where he could be struck
off.
These
include fitting a lower limb with the
wrong foot and and failing to provide
adequate prosthetic care, which meant
the socket required remaking.
