Broken Bones & Orthopedic Trauma in Truck Wrecks

The massive weight disparity in commercial collisions turns bones brittle under high energy loads, causing compound, comminuted, and pelvic fractures that rarely heal with simple casting. Treatment typically requires surgical open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) with titanium plates, rods, and screws, with long-term risks of traumatic arthritis, osteomyelitis, and mobility impairment.
