In support of their motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against them, the defendants Susan Haralabatos and her employer, Stony Brook Orthopaedic Associates (hereinafter together the defendants), submitted affirmations from expert physicians that were sufficient to establish, prima facie, that the post-operative care received by the injured plaintiff following repair of a bone fracture did not depart from good and accepted standards of medical practice, and that, in any event, any alleged departures did not proximately cause the injured plaintiffs injury (see Lowhar v Eva Stern 500, LLC, 70 AD3d 654, 655 [2010]; Wiands v Albany Med. Ctr., 29 AD3d 982, 983 [2006]). Therefore, the defendants met their burden of establishing their prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law.
While the plaintiffs, in opposition, submitted an affirmation from an expert physician that raised triable issues of fact as to whether Dr. Haralabatos may have departed from good and accepted practice, they failed to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether the alleged departures proximately caused the injured plaintiffs condition (see Wilkins v Khoury, 72 AD3d 1067, 1068 [2010]; see generally Fahey v A.O. Smith Corp., 77 AD3d 612, 616 [2010]).
