Femoral Neck Injury: The hip fracture involved the femoral neck, one of the most serious types of hip fractures that often requires surgical repair and can lead to long-term complications including mobility limitations and ongoing pain. Road Traffic Collision: The fracture occurred during a road traffic accident where our client was the innocent victim of another driver's negligence, sustaining this life-changing injury through no fault of their own. Immediate Medical Treatment: The severity of the femoral neck fracture required emergency hospital treatment and urgent surgical intervention to repair the broken bone and restore hip function as much as possible. Surgical Intervention: Our client underwent surgery to repair the fractured femoral neck, involving internal fixation with screws or potentially hip replacement, depending on the nature and severity of the fracture. Recovery Challenges: Recovery from femoral neck fractures is typically lengthy and challenging, requiring extensive physiotherapy, mobility aids, and gradual rehabilitation to regain function and independence. Mobility Impact: The hip fracture has had significant impact on our client's mobility, potentially affecting their ability to walk normally, climb stairs, drive, work, and participate in recreational activities they previously enjoyed.
