Abstract

This study analyzes the legal responsibility of orthopedic doctors in assessing disability and return to work fitness for workers with limb disabilities due to work accidents. The focus of this study includes aspects of legal regulation, medical ethics standards, and the legal implications of negligence in assessment practices. The analysis was conducted based on Article 46 of Law No. 44 of 2009 concerning Hospitals and the principle of vicarious liability, which highlights the importance of hospital responsibility for the actions of doctors operating under their supervision. This aims to protect patients and minimize the risk of litigation. The method used in this study is normative juridical with a descriptive-analytical approach. This study emphasizes the importance of clear communication and comprehensive documentation in medical practice as part of efforts to prevent negligence. The results of the study indicate that the application of strict professional standards and ongoing training can strengthen legal protection for orthopedic doctors. In addition, this also has the potential to increase patient trust in medical practice. Thus, this study contributes to the understanding of legal and ethical responsibility in the context of treating patients with disabilities due to work accidents.

Abstract

Plantar fasciitis is a degenerative condition affecting the connective tissue in the heel, characterized by pain at the medial plantar tuberosity of the calcaneus. It commonly occurs in elderly individuals aged 60 and above, with most cases resolving without treatment. However, therapeutic options become limited for older patients, particularly those aged 40 and above. This study evaluates various treatment methods for geriatric patients with plantar fasciitis, focusing on both medical and non-medical approaches. A comprehensive review of 19 relevant journals from 2000 to 2024 was conducted, analyzing treatments and their effectiveness in elderly populations. The results consistently demonstrated that Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections were highly effective in treating plantar fasciitis in elderly patients. No non-injection treatments were found to surpass the efficacy of PRP. Further research is needed to explore additional effective therapies for geriatric plantar fasciitis beyond PRP.
