An operative report of Tripp's treating orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Berkowitz, revealed the "[Rearing of the rotator cuff of the right shoulder" (NYSCEF Doc No. 85). Although Dr. Berkowitz's Operative Report, dated November 27, 2019, was not separately affirmed, it was submitted by plaintiffs as part of the business records of Dr. Berkowitz's orthopedic practice, Advanced Orthopaedics, PLLC, pursuant to CPLR 4518 and 3122-a (see Benguigui v Racer, 198 A.D.3d 608, 610 [2d Dept 2021]; see also Abdalla v Mazl Taxi, Inc., 75 A.D.3d 517 [2d Dept 2010]).
Further, though plaintiff indicates that she missed two months of work following the surgery, defendants' proof submitted on the motion establishes, prima facie, that the surgery had no connection to the subject accident. In opposition to the motion, plaintiff initially contends that defendants have failed to meet their prima facie burden since plaintiff's own treatment records, submitted on the motion, "confirm plaintiff's injuries" (seeBalram v CJ Transp., LLC, 127ADd3d 796 [2015]; Abdalla v Mazl Taxi, Inc., 75 AD3d 517 [2010]). However, the failure by plaintiff's physicians to review any of plaintiff's prior medical records render their conclusions regarding causation speculative (seeCornelius v Cintas Corp., 50 Ad3d 1085 [2008]; Penaloza v Chavez, 48 AD3d 654 [2008]; Moore v Sarwar, 29 AD3d 752 [2006]).
