San Jose Broken Knee Joint Lawyers
A tibial plateau fracture is one that occurs at the top of the shin bone. This type of fracture involves the cartilage surface of the knee joint and must be treated differently than fractures to the tibia shaft. Joints that are subject to tibial plateau fractures are also at high risk of developing arthritis later on in life. Individuals who have suffered these types of fractures in auto and other serious accidents deserve to be compensated for their losses.
At the San Mateo law firm of Galine, Frye & Fitting, we have handled a wide range of catastrophic injuries and fractures, including those to the tibial plateau, in more than 75 years of combined personal injury practice. Our attorneys can protect your rights while pursuing the compensation that you deserve for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering related to your injuries.
San Mateo Tibial Plateau Fracture Attorneys
Treatment for tibial plateau fractures can include surgery to realign the bones and restore stability and alignment of the knee joint. Not all of these injuries require surgery, however, but these require an extended period of protection from walking and weight on the joint.
Recovery from a tibial plateau fracture can take several months, since the knee and the cartilage surface of the joint must be protected from weight until the fracture has healed. For many people, this prevents a return to work before the treatment has finished.
