Lower Limb Injuries

Among other injuries, one of the most common car accident injuries is that of lower limbs. The risk of these injuries is significant in all road traffic accidents.  Lower limb injuries are usually caused by the direct contact with the interior parts of the car and the person, which is a result of the body or body-part motion towards the contact point.

The United Kingdom Cooperative Crash Injury Study (CCIS) database shows that the lower limb was found to be the most frequently injured body part in car crashes of all impact types and the second most injured part in frontal impacts.

The lower extremity is classified into segments such as: thigh, leg, foot, ankle and joints, any kind of injury to these parts of the body count as lower limb injuries.

Even though foot and ankle injuries are, in most of the cases, not life-threatening, they still can cause considerable pain and suffering to the individuals involved and can require long-term treatment and rehabilitation and can sometimes result in permanent disability in surviving car occupant casulties.
