Is this Malpractice?

Sushi asked:

Ok, so it all started on August 16. My family and I got inot a carcrash which left my mom with her left leg broken. The first thing the doctors did was put on an external fixature, then a cast and then a brace. Now 3 months have gone by and the doctors find that there is a 10 degree deviation in her bone. In other words, it's crooked. They said that they would have to re break it and put it into another fixature. But we are speculating where it all went wrong. We think it was when my mom went to have the brace put on and the doctor there said that the instructions where confusing and he just guessed what brace to put on my mom. Now we have the crooked leg problem. I'm just wondering if this is malpractice and what we should do.
But the problem is that 1 month after the break, the doctor told her to walk on her left leg even if it wasn't healed.
Thank you Really.

My son was born with a rare genetic disease, which caused his facial structures are under developed . During the pregnancy, my wife followed the entire necessary test.

Now we went back to the medical records and found out that the ultrasonic pictures clearly showed his deformed facial structures. However no any medical doctors told us about this, every time we were told everything is fine? Could we sue the medical doctor for her medical malpractice? Thanks
