A federal judge has rejected arguments made by an orthopedic surgeons’ professional association to overturn a jury verdict that found a doctor who served as a plaintiffs expert witness had been depicted in a false light in an article in the organization’s trade journal.
Dr. Steven R. Graboff, an orthopedic surgeon, alleged that he was placed in a false light by an article published in the newsletter of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons. The piece reported on Graboff’s suspension from the organization.
