Leg and Knee Ailments

It would perhaps seem that few things could go wrong with the legs and knees, since they are relatively simple when compared to other parts of the body. This, however, is not the reality. The musculature of the legs has to bear much pressure and torsion to support standing, walking, bending, turning, and other tasks. Poor positioning or unexpected shifts in ground level or surface friction can greatly increase the risk of spraining or straining the muscles, or even the potential to damage the anterior cruciate ligament or medial collateral ligament, both of which are key to the proper support and movement of the knee.

A fall on a surface, even a soft one, can generate enough force to fracture the femur, tibia, or bones of the foot. Perhaps worse is a direct fall onto one’s knee, which can cause a patellar fracture or dislocation, both of which are very painful and impose at least mild disability for a fair amount of time. Occasionally, leg injuries are not obvious, and you may try to push on through the pain, but it is of the utmost importance that you seek medical attention after an accident, so that you can be sure to receive a proper diagnosis and all necessary treatments.

Dealing with Leg or Knee Injuries

The Pennsylvania workers’ compensation attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., know that it is also crucial to seek treatment immediately because it provides evidence to your employer’s insurer that when you file your workers’ compensation claim, the injury is both medically valid and imminently traceable to your workplace incident. Even if you do not think that your injury merits clinical evaluation, remember that your family’s financial stability may depend upon your actions in the aftermath.
