A dislocated hip, fractured hip, or fracture pelvis can be extremely painful and frequently will make it nearly impossible for an injured worker to return to work. Hip injuries ordinarily require an extensive amount of physical therapy; however, many hip injuries require surgical repair or even total hip replacement in order to properly treat the injury. The law offices of Seth Bader are workers compensation lawyers in Atlanta and all over the state of Georgia
Hip Injury Facts
As reported by the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recently issued statistics for every hospital in the United States that performs a significant number of hip and knee replacement operations. The statistics highlight which hospitals have a high success rate, with no need for patients to return for any revision surgeries, and which hospitals have a below average success rate – with patients who do not undergo a successful initial operation.
Among Georgia hospitals, Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital had some of the best results for hip and knee replacements in the country. Floyd Medical Center in Rome, on the other hand, was listed among the national hospitals with the worst outcomes for these operations.
While the data released consisted of outcomes for Medicare patients, many injured workers undergo hip and knee replacements each year at the same hospitals covered in the study. In fact, many times the doctors who perform hip and knee replacements for Medicare patients are performing the same surgeries, in the same hospitals, for workers’ compensation patients.
