Sylvan Ebanks-Blake: Ex-Premier League footballer wins High Court claim against top surgeon
High Court ruled the ankle surgery was unnecessary and worsened osteoarthritis, ending Sylvan Ebanks-Blake's career early after a 2013 injury, with damages to be decided later.
- Former Premier League footballer Sylvan Ebanks-Blake won a legal challenge against surgeon Professor James Calder, claiming unnecessary surgery caused his career's premature end.
- Professor Calder denied the claims, stating the treatment prolonged Ebanks-Blake's career, but the court found the arthroscopy contributed to his health's decline.
- Judge Lambert said 'but for the arthroscopy, the claimant would have returned to his pre-accident pain-free state,' ruling the surgery decision unreasonable.
