Broken Bones

Fractured or broken bones can lead to long-lasting problems that may negatively
impact your quality of life and well-being. Sometimes the result of a
car accident,
a slip and fall, or another dangerous situation, victims of broken or fractured bones
can be left with costly medical expenses. Our experienced personal injury
lawyers can help you navigate the complicated process of seeking justice
and fair compensation for your injuries.
Broken Bone Injuries
These injuries usually require medical treatment and follow-up therapy.
Bone breaks can be external or internal. Sometimes surgery is needed to
restore functionality to the injured appendage. This might mean the use
of internal pins, screws, and rods to keep the broken bones in place as
they heal. Treatment of a broken bone depends on the type of fracture
that has occurred. The severity of the injury depends on the cause of
the accident.
Bone Fractures
Broken bones are usually separated into different categories:
-
Simple Fracture: The bone breaks without damaging surrounding tissues or breaking the skin
-
Open or Compound Fracture: The bone breaks the skin
-
Complete Fracture: The bone breaks into two pieces
-
Incomplete Fracture: The bone breaks, but not into two separate pieces
-
Greenstick Fracture: The bone is slightly broken as the result of being bent
-
Stable Fracture: The bone is broken, but the ends line up
-
Transverse Fracture: The bone is fractured horizontally
-
Buckle Fracture: The ends of the broken bones are driven into one another
-
Oblique Fracture: The bone is fractured at an angle
-
Comminuted Fracture: The bone shatters into 3 or more pieces
