If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle collision, slip and fall, workplace accident, or due to negligence, you need more than just symptom relief — you need a comprehensive orthopedic evaluation and treatment plan focused on full recovery from your injuries.

Our orthopedic practice specializes in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal injuries resulting from personal injury accidents. We work closely with patients, primary care physicians, physical therapists, imaging centers, and other professionals to ensure you receive the highest standard of care while properly documenting your injuries. 


Common Injuries After a Motor Vehicle Collision

Car accidents often cause injuries that may not fully appear until hours or days later. Prompt orthopedic evaluation is critical.

We frequently treat:

  • Whiplash and cervical spine injuries

  • Herniated or bulging discs

  • Shoulder injuries (rotator cuff tears, labral tears)

  • Knee injuries (ACL, meniscus tears)

  • Fractures and dislocations

  • Back and lumbar spine injuries

  • Soft tissue and ligament damage

Even low-speed accidents can cause significant trauma. Early diagnosis improves your outcomes. 


Slip and Fall & Premises Liability Injuries

Slip and fall accidents can lead to serious orthopedic conditions, including:

  • Hip fractures

  • Wrist and ankle fractures

  • Knee ligament injuries

  • Torn tendons

  • Spinal compression fractures

These injuries often require detailed imaging, bracing, injections, physical therapy, or surgery. Our team creates individualized treatment plans focused on restoring function and preventing long-term complications. 


Negligence & Workplace Injury Claims

If your injury was caused by another party’s negligence, it’s essential to have clear, medically supported documentation. We provide:

  • Thorough orthopedic evaluations

  • Advanced imaging referrals (MRI, CT, X-ray)

  • Clear medical reporting

  • Treatment timelines


Our Comprehensive Orthopedic Approach

We combine modern diagnostics with advanced treatment options, including:

  • Digital X-ray and MRI coordination

  • Non-surgical treatments (bracing, injections, regenerative therapies)

  • Minimally invasive surgical options

  • Physical therapy and chiropractic referrals

  • Pain management coordination

  • Neurology coordination 
  • Neurosurgical coordination for advanced spine pathology

We understand the complexity of personal injury cases and the importance of early treatment. 


Why Choose an Orthopedic Specialist After an Accident?

Unlike general urgent care facilities, an orthopedic surgeon specializes in the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and spine — the exact systems most commonly injured in accidents.

An evaluation by an experienced board-certified orthopedic surgeon ensures:

  • Accurate diagnosis

  • Complete injury documentation

  • Clear prognosis

  • Appropriate treatment recommendations


Don’t Delay Treatment

If you’ve been injured in a:

  • A motor vehicle collision

  • A slip and fall accident

  • A workplace injury

  • A negligence-related incident

You are driving on a sunny Saturday afternoon and make it to your destination safely. This simple scenario we take for granted so many times can instantly change our life in a car accident.  Hopefully you walk away unharmed or with minor injuries but if the accident requires treatment from an orthopedic surgeon do you know most will not see you? Until you or someone close to you experience a motor vehicle accident this may not cross your mind as you are injured and need to see a doctor. More then likely you will contact numerous orthopedic offices and look to your attorney for guidance as most orthopedic specialists feel motor vehicle accident injury patients will result in excessive paperwork, significant time, potential litigation, and no compensation.  At The Dallas Limb Restoration Center we understand the impact a car accident and orthopedic injuries can have on any patient. We provide compassinate orthopedic treatment for patients who are injured in motor vehicle accidents (MVA) and seek treatment under a Letter of Protection (LOP). 

Our team works closely with neurosurgeons, pain management physicians, neurologists, chiropractors, physical therapists, and surgical facilities to provide comprehensive care if you have been in an accident. 

What are the Most Common Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries We Treat? 

  • Broken Bones

Fractures can occur from the force or impact of an accident. Broken legs, arms, hips, ankles, and wrists are common bones that fracture in an accident. 

  • Knee Injuries

Knees can be injured from hitting the dashboard or another part of the vehicle. Meniscus and ligament tears are common when the knee twists or turn aburptly in an accident.

  • Shoulder Injuries

Shoulder injuries from auto accidents can result in dislocation, sprains, torn rotator cuffs, fractures, shoulder replacements, or arthritis in the future. Rotator cuff tears are the most common MVA related injury we see and occur quite frequently in rear end collisions as the driver typically tenses up and uses their hand on the steering wheel to brace for impact. This increases the force through the shoulder often causing a shoulder injury.  

  • Hand & Wrist Injuries

Hand and wrist injuries are common in car accidents as they are often a point of impact or tension as the crash occurs. Intuitively we put our hand out to brace for an impact with the dash, steering wheel, or airbag and many times this force causes sprains, fractures, ligament injuries, puncture wounds, or even amputation. 

  • Distal Radius Fractures

There are over 250,000 distal radius fractures treated each year. The most common reasons for this fracture are falling on an outstretched hand or significant trauma from a car accident or air bag deploying. These injuries may be treated non-operatively if the fracture can be reduced, if not surgery may be required to properly realign the broken bones.  

  • Foot and Ankle Injuries 

When a car accident occurs our natural reaction is to put our feet on the floor or brake to brace for impact. When this reflex occurs with impact it makes a foot or ankle injury much more likely. Fractures of the foot or ankle are the most common injury in this situation. Sprains, strains, or tears or the tendon, ligaments, or muscles can also occur when bracing for an impeding impact with your foot or ankle. 

  • Soft Tissue Injuries 

Sprains, strains, bumps, bruising other injuries to muscles, ligaments, and tendons are very common in auto accidents.
