What is serious orthopaedic injury?
A serious orthopaedic injury is a severe injury to the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Examples include fractures, dislocations, torn ligaments, and severe sprains. These injuries can cause significant pain, swelling, and limited mobility, and may require surgery or other medical interventions to heal properly.
What is a serious orthopaedic injury claim?
A serious orthopaedic injury claim refers to a legal case where an individual has suffered a severe injury to their bones, joints, muscles, or ligaments due to the negligence of another party. These injuries can result in long-term disability, chronic pain, and require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
How Moore Barlow can support you
You might have sustained a serious orthopaedic injury that wasn’t your fault, in a road accident, at your workplace, trip/slip, or during a boat accident. However it happened, we understand how traumatic it can feel and how difficult it can seem to claim the compensation you deserve.
We specialise in making the process as simple and stress-free as possible, not only winning you significant compensation but also providing expert advice and support for your treatment, care and rehabilitation.
Common accidents types
There are many different types of accident that can result in a serious orthopaedic injury. However the accident occurred, if it was not entirely your fault you could be entitled to compensation. Typically we encounter injuries caused by:
- Road traffic accidents
- Accidents at work, perhaps from defective machinery in a factory or at a farm or construction site
- Falls from height
- Sporting injuries – horse riding, rugby or football, motor sports
- Slips, trips or falls
Types of orthopaedic injury
There are many different types of orthopaedic injuries, and your accident may have caused multiple injuries. These could include:
- Fractures to bones (including multiple fractures)
- Spinal injuries
- Dislocation
- Injuries to your limbs
- Injuries to tendons and muscles
Types of surgery
Sometimes surgery doesn’t go to plan and can cause further problems. Typical types of surgery where this can happen include:
- Bone fracture repair, including arms, legs, wrists, hips, ankles, ribs and collarbones
- Damaged tendon or ligament repair
- Arthroscopy – keyhole insertion of tools to diagnose and treat joint tissue damage
- Arthroplasty – replacing or resurfacing joints, such as knees and hips, because of arthritis
- Bony deformity correction
- Metalwork – using an internal or external apparatus to reshape or maintain limb bones while they are weak and susceptible to damage

The recovery process
You will need rehabilitation treatment tailored to your specific injury. You may need to have surgery, perhaps supported by medication, and with some form of therapy: physiotherapy to regain muscle ability and strength, occupational therapy to help you manage everyday actions again and psychotherapy to help you overcome the mental impact of your accident and build a positive outlook for the future.
It’s important to have the expert support of a law firm that specialises in these types of injuries and understands what you will need to help you recover. At Moore Barlow, we’ve built up extensive experience of making compensation claims for serious orthopaedic injuries, and established close working relationships with medical experts who can advise on the best rehabilitation treatment.
