Orthopedic injuries are injuries to the body’s muscle and skeletal system. These injuries include a dislocated joint, damaged joint socket, sprained ligament, torn muscle and broken bones.
In addition, orthopedic injuries can involve infections. Orthopedic infections are most common when a bone fracture punctures the skin, exposing the wound to external elements and bacteria.
Accidents that commonly cause orthopedic injuries include automobile accidents, slip / trip & fall, and workplace injuries. However, because of the vulnerability of the musculoskeletal system, a wide variety of accidents can result in orthopedic damage.
When a third party’s negligence or lack of caution is responsible for the accident, a claim for money damages may be filed in court.
