Hip Fractures
A true hip fracture involves damage to the joint. However, there are a variety of other fractures, including femur fractures, that are frequently referred to as hip fractures.
Femoral Head Fractures
The femur head is the highest part of the thigh. This is a serious fracture caused by a great deal of force. The damage is to the femoral head, but is often accompanied by the dislocation of the hip joint.
Femoral Neck Fractures
Fractures to the neck of the femur can be particularly severe due to the possible additional damage that can come along with them. In a femoral neck fracture, the blood supply to the femoral head can be damaged. This can cause avascular necrosis, a condition that can cause permanent damage to the bone.
Intertrochanteric Fractures
This is the most common type of hip fracture. For most accident victims, full recovery is likely to be a simple matter. However, in more serious situations, complications can arise.
Subtrochanteric Fractures
These hip fractures actually involve damage to the shaft of the femur. The break may extend down the shaft, making it a particularly severe injury.
Pelvis Fractures
Pelvis fractures, or pelvic fractures, can be very challenging to treat. They may involve multiple break points in the pelvic ring, causing moderate to severe hemorrhage. Pelvis fractures are serious injuries.
All Cases Handled on a Contingency Basis
In hip and pelvic fracture cases, you will only be asked to pay attorney fees if we are successful in getting you compensation through a settlement or verdict.
