You have to get together with a lawyer right NOW, and have the lawyer serve a notice of intent to sue. Meanwhile you have to have the case reviewed by a qualified orthopedic surgeon that would be willing in an appropriate case to testify.

Do it NOW.

You need to consult an attorney ASAP. There are very specific requirements for Med-Mal Cases, which require strict attention.
