Understanding hip injury

Hip injuries can result from side-impact collisions or from the knee and thigh driving the hip backwards against the seat during a frontal crash. These forces can cause bruising, soft-tissue injury, labral damage or fractures around the hip and pelvis. Because the hip carries body weight and is central to walking, injuries here can make standing, walking and driving difficult. Early assessment helps clarify the injury and supports a clear record for a CTP claim.

Common symptoms

Symptoms can take hours or days to appear after a crash. If you notice any of these, it's worth being assessed.

How we help

We assess your hip injury by telehealth and document its nature and impact in a way that supports your CTP claim. Where appropriate, we provide the medical certification the scheme requires and arrange imaging or specialist referral if a fracture or joint injury is suspected. We help coordinate physiotherapy and exercise physiology to support recovery and mobility, and guide you through the relevant paperwork. Our focus is the medical side; questions about liability are best directed to a solicitor.

Treatment approach

  1. 1CTP medical assessment and Certificate of Fitness
  2. 2Arrange imaging or specialist referral where a fracture or joint injury is suspected
  3. 3Document symptoms, mobility and impact for the CTP claim
  4. 4Coordinate physiotherapy for movement, strength and gait
  5. 5Arrange exercise physiology to rebuild conditioning and function
  6. 6Review progress and adjust the plan as recovery allows
When to see a doctor

Seek assessment if you have significant hip or groin pain, cannot bear weight comfortably, or notice a limp that is not settling. Pain that wakes you at night or steadily worsens should be reviewed. Prompt assessment helps identify injuries that need specific treatment.
