Victims of Tennessee auto accidents, work injuries, motorcycle wrecks, and other trauma can experience shoulder injuries, including rotator cuff tears.

Rotator cuff tears can be surgically repaired arthroscopically, a much less invasive alternative than the typical “open” procedure. According to the American Journal of Sports Medicine arthroscopic surgery can reduce pain and improve function, but unexplainedly the procedure seems to have poorer results among women.

Blows to the head from a Tennessee car accident are not uncommon. They are also very common in motorcycle accidents, and collisions involving tractor-trailers.

Most of the time people “shake it off” and go on with their lives. We now have the example of the NFL on the importance of taking head injuries very seriously.

It’s not just auto accidents (or motorcycle accidents or truck accidents) that cause personal injury to people using the roads in Tennessee. A recent study produced by Transportation America quantifies the epidemic of pedestrian fatalities and personal injuries that are occurring in Tennessee and across the U.S.

Over the last 15 years more than 76,000 people have been killed when doing nothing more than walking in the neighborhood where they live. While it is common for many pedestrian accidents to be blamed on the pedestrian/victim, it is more accurate to point out that most streets are not designed for pedestrians, people in wheelchairs, or people on bicycles – even though people who are “a foot” will clearly have to use streets just like automobiles and trucks.

An AARP poll of people over 50 years old found that half of the people felt they couldn’t safely cross the main road closest to where they live.  (For information about the safety of roads in your own neighborhood, click here.) The compiled data for Nashville indicates that the rate of pedestrian death puts us #28 on the list of cities in the United States. Approximately 6 pedestrians will be killed every year in Nashville, just for walking. For more information about this study, click here.
