Hospitalist Questions Orthopaedic Surgeon

Car accident knee question?

Towards the end of March, I was involved in a car accident as a passenger and had my legs crossed as the car pulled out in front causing us to T-Bone her. My front knee went through the glovebox and completely broke it. Our car was totaled and ever since then I can’t put a lot of pressure on that knee.

Consult orthopedic surgery. Get an MRI of your knee. Make sure you are on blood thinners. You are at high risk for blood clots.
Get an x-ray to make sure the bone is OK.
Hello, you have an injury and should go to your primary provider, an orthopedist, or urgent care. This needs to be evaluated and X-rays are the only way to start with this.
