Orthopaedics

Hong Kong’s Medical Council ruled on Monday that orthopaedist Dr Daniel Wu Yiang committed professional misconduct on four charges for performing an unconventional syndesmosis bunion surgery at Hong Kong Adventist Hospital without providing the patient sufficient details on the procedure or alternatives. The patient complained of left toe pain, swelling and clawing deformity for months after the November 20, 2018 operation. The council issued a public warning letter and reprimanded Wu.
