Medical Treatment Details
The client’s medical treatment began with emergency transport from the scene by ambulance due to acute left leg pain and concern for possible fracture. At UMC Hospital on West Charleston, clinicians conducted a physical exam and ordered X-rays of the left leg to evaluate for fractures or dislocations.
X-rays did not reveal any fractures, but the client was diagnosed with significant soft-tissue injuries and pain, which can still cause long-term functional limitations, difficulty walking, and persistent discomfort. The client received pain management, instructions for rest and restricted activity, and recommendations for follow-up care, which are common components of treatment plans for non-fracture leg trauma.
