Types of Fall Injuries
Josh and his team have seen workers who have suffered many different injuries caused by falls. Here are the most common:
- Broken hips: Slips, trips, or falls from heights can easily cause a hip fracture.
- Head injuries: A fall can lead to, skull fractures, cuts, or even traumatic brain injury.
- Spinal injuries: Falling from any height can cause herniated discs, spinal fractures, or leg numbness that can require surgery.
- Neck injuries: Landing on the head or neck can break the cervical spine, sometimes leading to paralysis.
- Broken bones: Any bone in the body can break during a fall, and severe breaks often require surgery.
- Knee injuries: A torn meniscus from twisting while falling can require a meniscus repair and will often develop arthritis in the future that may require a knee replacement.
- Shoulder, hand and wrist injuries: Trying to prevent a fall with your arms often causes injuries to your shoulders, hands or wrists, including tears or nerve issues.
