Hip Injury Claim
Hip injuries can be caused buy a number of factors such as severe falls, motor vehicle accidents and sports injury. Injuries to your hip are serious and result in discomfort as well as the risk of possible long term problems.
Hip Injuries come in a range of ways such as:
- Bursitis – inflammation of a bursa
- Sprain/strain – a stretched or torn ligament from a fall or twist
- Fractures
- Dislocation
All of these cause pain, swelling, bruising, numbness and the inability to move your limb. If you fracture your hip you will need a cast or splint to allow the bone to heal, however in severe cases you may require surgery to insert plates, pins or screws.
Like most injuries, an injury to your hip will leave you out of work in order to recover. Damage to the bone could leave you out of pocket for several months.
Your hip joint is formed when your thigh bone meets your pelvis bone in the form of a ball and socket. It takes a great force to hurt your hip joint. A dislocation to your hip is normally due to a road traffic accident or a great fall from height. You will feel pain when attempting to move the leg, the joint will appear deformed and you could experience numbness along the sciatic nerve area (back of thighs) if the dislocation presses on this nerve.
