In an action to recover damages for medical malpractice and lack of informed consent, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Martin, J), entered January 9, 2009, which granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The requisite elements of proof in a medical malpractice action are a deviation or departure from good and accepted medical practice and that such departure was a proximate cause of the plaintiffs injuries (see Rebozo v Wilen, 41 AD3d 457, 458 [2007]). In support of that branch of the defendants’ motion which was for summary judgment dismissing the first cause of action alleging medical malpractice, the defendants submitted an affidavit from a podiatry expert that was sufficient to establish, prima facie, that they did not depart from good and ac
In support of that branch of the defendants’ motion which was for summary judgment dismissing the second cause of action alleging lack of informed consent, the defendants established their entitlement to judgment as a matter of law. In light of the plaintiffs failure to raise a triable issue of fact as to proximate cause, the plaintiff cannot sustain a cause of action predicated on lack of informed consent (see Thompson v Orner, 36 AD3d 791, 792-793 [2007]; Viola v Blanco, 1 AD3d 506 [2003]).
Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. Skelos, J.P., Santucci, Lott and Sgroi, JJ., concur.
