What is an orthopaedic injury?

An injury is classed as ‘orthopaedic’ if it affects any part of the musculoskeletal system. The musculoskeletal system allows the body to move and function properly and is comprised of the following elements:

  • joints
  • ligaments
  • muscles
  • tendons
  • bones
  • nerves

If you have suffered from an orthopaedic injury, you will know the considerable impact it can have upon your life. Such injuries can cause intense pain, often requiring treatment such as surgery and costly rehabilitation.

An orthopaedic injury can greatly affect your ability to carry out day-to-day tasks, social activities and even perform your job. This disruption to your everyday life can cause emotional and financial stress, on top of the physical pain you have had to endure.

Common orthopaedic injuries

We have helped clients claim compensation for a range of different injuries, including:

  • Arthritis
  • Stress fractures
  • Hip fractures
  • Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears
  • Rotator cuff tears
  • Distal radius fractures
  • Meniscus tears
  • Dislocations
  • De-gloving injuries

This list is not exhaustive. Our specialist solicitors will help anyone who has suffered a serious orthopaedic injury.
