Fractures from an accident? Our Pennsylvania attorneys can help!

Fractures are a common injury from car accidents. A bone will break when excess force or pressure is applied to it. Broken bones suffered in accidents can include hip fractures; ankle fractures which can lead to the need for ankle fusion; broken legs, arms, back, etc.

Fractures may occur simultaneously with other injuries and may require surgery, rehabilitation, or physical and occupational therapy. In some instances, fractures can result in more serious conditions. Examples include:

Lisfranc fracture

Often mistaken for sprains, a Lisfranc fracture is a dislocation of the midfoot. If not diagnosed, Lisfranc injuries can have serious complications such as joint degeneration and compartment syndrome.

Acute compartment syndrome

Acute compartment syndrome (CS) can result after a traumatic injury, such as a fracture or crushing injury suffered in a rollover accident.

Compartment syndrome occurs when extreme pressure builds within the muscles preventing nourishment - oxygen and nutrients - from reaching nerve and muscle cells. Without nourishment, nerve and muscle cells begin to die. If the pressure is not relieved quickly, paralysis, loss of limb or loss of life may result.

If your fractures resulted from an accident caused by another person's negligence, contact the attorneys at Edgar Snyder & Associates today.
