Essential Information for Victims of Bone Fractures
Bone fractures (broken bones) are a common injury affecting millions of people every year. Studies show that the average person can expect to sustain two fractures over the course of their lifetime. Fractures frequently happen because of car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, as well as sports injuries, and can be accompanied by soft tissue injuries. For senior citizens, falls are the most common cause of injury, resulting in fractures to the hip, femur (thigh bone), pelvis, and vertebrae (spine).
Symptoms can include severe pain in the injured area, deformity of the limb, swelling, bruising, numbness, and difficulty moving the limb. However, especially after a traumatic accident, you might not realize the extent of your injury due to adrenaline and shock. It is very important to seek medical attention, even if you feel it was a minor accident, to ensure an accurate diagnosis of your injury and to receive the proper treatment.
Types of Bone Fractures
Broken bones are classified into specific types depending on the circumstances involved, as well as the strength of the bone. Each injury requires specific treatment based on type and location. Below is a list of bone fractures that are commonly seen due to an accident.

Common Bone Injuries from Vehicle Accidents
Broken bones are the most common injury sustained in a car accident. While any bone can fracture when met with enough force, below is a list of bones that are likely to break due to a motor vehicle accident.
- Leg fracture: an auto accident can cause fractures to the femur, tibia, and fibula. These breaks can occur when the knees get jammed against the dashboard during a collision.
- Arm fracture: this can happen when the individual tries to brace themselves for the collision.
- Wrist fracture: the wrist is comprised of many small, delicate bones and is easily fractured during an auto accident.
- Rib fracture: these are somewhat common and can be the cause of the airbag or seatbelt.
- Hip fracture: considered one of the most painful injuries a person can suffer, this type of fracture can occur during a head-on or high-impact collision.
- Collarbone (clavicle) fracture: considered more fragile than other bones in the body, this bone is more susceptible to a fracture in a car crash.
- Facial/skull fracture: these injuries can be very damaging and can happen when the individual hits the windshield due to not wearing a seatbelt.
