The shoulder is the most flexible joint in the human body. I have seen how that makes it prone to injuries such as dislocations and […]

There are a number of leg injuries that can occur as a result of an auto accident. One of these injuries that I have seen that many people have never heard of is a tibial plateau and fibular fracture. This is a very specific injury that can only occur in one small area below the knee […]
