Common Hip Injuries Resulting from Motor Vehicle Accidents in Canada

Car accidents are a leading cause of hip and pelvis injuries. The force upon one’s body in a car accident can cause bone fractures, dislocation, and strains. If you’ve been in a motor vehicle accident, you should watch for signs and symptoms of injury. After the shock and adrenaline wear off, many car accident victims begin to feel increasing pain and discomfort.

Dislocated Hip

When the force from an accident pushes the knee into the car dashboard in a car accident, the hip can become dislocated. Many times people feel their hip pop out of its place. Frequently, extreme pain sets in when the hip becomes dislocated. Sometimes, emergency treatment is necessary because a person with hip dislocation may not be able to stand or walk. Other times, a fracture occurs along with a hip dislocation.

A Hip or Pelvis Fracture

The forceful impact caused by a collision can cause the hip joint to become fractured. Hip joints are located at the top of the femur. The pelvic acetabular acts as a socket for the femur. When accidents cause hip fractures, the patient may require surgery to secure the bones in place. Sometimes, surgeons use screws to compress, fixate, or reduce a hip fracture. Other times, medical doctors will recommend non-surgical treatment such as physical therapy, pain medication, and modification of activities.

The pelvis is a group of bones arranged in a butterfly shape at the base of the spine. The pelvis consists of the ilium, ischium, and pubis bones held together by tough ligaments that form a girdle. Pelvis fractures are somewhat uncommon. They often happen as a result of high-speed accidents or falls from great heights. Sometimes, if a patient already has osteoporosis that weakens the bone, a slight slip and fall can cause a pelvic fracture. When a pelvis or hip fracture happens, the kidneys, bladder, genitals, or intestines may become damaged. A computed tomography (CT) scan can usually detect whether the pelvis or hip bones suffered a fracture.

Hip Implant Injuries

Replacing a natural hip bone with an artificial hip can help significantly with mobility. Sometimes, an artificial hip itself causes its significant personal injury. Health Canada reports that 12 out of 33 of its manufacturers have recalled their artificial hip implants. Defective hip implants cause the following symptoms:

• Swelling around the hip joint
• A limp or a favoring of one leg over the other leg
• Difficulty in rising from a reclined or seated position
• Reluctance to move due to the extreme pain
• Muscle and tissue damage
• Blood poisoning
• Cracking or crunching noises in the hip

If you are suffering from pain due to an artificial hip, time is of the essence. The experienced hip implant injury lawyers at Preszler Injury Lawyers will help you determine whether you have a product liability claim. Many people successfully bring artificial hip injury claims under Canadian law. If you do have a valid claim, we can help you assert your rights and receive compensation.
