What is a complex orthopaedic injury?

A complex orthopaedic injury is an injury to your musculoskeletal system, and can range from serious bone breaks and fractures, to ligament, tendon or muscle damage in the joints. Your complex orthopaedic injury may need complicated surgical treatment, depending on your circumstances.

Depending on how serious your complex orthopaedic injury is, it may affect your life differently in terms of your mobility, working arrangements, personal life and general day-to-day.

What are the causes of a complex orthopaedic injury?

  • Road traffic accidents: If you’re involved in a collision involving a car, bus, or other vehicle, you may sustain a complex orthopaedic injury depending on the impact of the collision. Pedestrians and motorcycle/bicycle riders may also sustain orthopaedic damage in these collisions.
  • Accidents at work: If you have an accident at work involving dangerous equipment or heavy machinery, you may sustain orthopaedic damage depending on the severity of the accident. Common workplace orthopaedic injuries include bone breaks and fractures.
  • Medical negligence: Sometimes there can be instances of medical negligence during treatment for a complex orthopaedic injury. The impact of this can differ depending on individual circumstances, and might include nerve damage, blood clots or in more serious cases, the need for amputation.

complex orthopaedic injury frequently asked questions

Normally you have three years from the date of your complex orthopaedic injury, or reasonable knowledge of your injury to bring a claim for compensation. There are some exceptions to this rule; for instance, where the matter involves a child. In this case the child has three years from the date of their 18th birthday to bring a claim, therefore expiring on their 21st birthday.
The treatment you receive for your complex orthopaedic injury will differ depending on your circumstances, but usual treatment can include:
  • Physiotherapy
  • Pain management
  • Rehabilitation
  • Surgery
  • Casts or splints
If your complex orthopaedic injury was caused by the fault of someone else, you may be able to bring a claim. It will also depend on where your injury occurred, e.g. at work, in a medical setting, or in a road traffic collision. The compensation awarded will also depend on these circumstances.
