Free Case ReviewLeg and Knee Injuries After a Car Accident
Leg and knee injuries are among the most common orthopedic consequences of car accidents. Dashboard impact causes a characteristic 'dashboard knee' injury — the femur is driven backward into the acetabulum (hip socket) or the patella is fractured against the dashboard. Cruciate and collateral ligament tears in the knee are common in side-impact and frontal crashes, often requiring ACL or PCL reconstruction surgery. Femur fractures — the thickest bone in the body — indicate extreme force and are frequently associated with significant blood loss and other internal injuries. These injuries often require multiple surgeries, months of physical therapy, and may result in permanent limitation of mobility or chronic pain.
