Houston Orthopedic Injury Lawyer
"Orthopedics" is the study of the human musculoskeletal system. Therefore, any damage to the bones, joints, and ligaments is normally considered to be an orthopedic injury. In car accidents, a person may suffer
broken bones, torn ligaments, stretched tendons or nerve damage. These are all considered orthopedic injuries and typically require comprehensive medical care to repair the damage.
Treatment for Orthopedic Injuries
Wounds to bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles can require extensive-and expensive-medical treatment. Broken bones, strains, sprains, and dislocations are common orthopedic injuries in auto accidents. In serious cases, orthopedic surgery may be necessary. Such surgeries are required to perform:
- Fraction repair;
- Bone reconstruction;
- Bone grafting;
- Amputations; and
- Spinal fusion
Regardless of the procedure, treatment for orthopedic injuries is never cheap. If you receive such an injury in an accident, you may find it difficult to pay for treatment without compensation from insurance or from the other driver. Make sure you seek the highest payout possible by hiring a car accident attorney right away.
