Atlanta, GA -- (SBWire) -- 07/26/2016 --Many people who suffer on-the-job injuries come out on the other end with broken bones. In cases as such, the medical bills and time out from work can lead to financial strife, and if employers and insurance companies are uncooperative, legal action is necessary. For Atlanta residents in need of a workers' compensation lawyer, Darwin F. Johnson is a go-to because of his expertise navigating the law as it pertains to work injuries, and his ability to win cases. Johnson just released an article on his firm's website that details bone injuries.

The write-up explained that a fracture occurs when an object makes an impact with a stronger force than the bone is itself. Also, there are several common types of fractures, including comminuted, compressed, depressed, spiral and impacted, among others.

Comminuted fractures involve bones shattering into a few, or many, shards, where impacted breaks involve pieces of bone pushing against each other. A spiral fracture occurs when a bone is twisted until it snaps, and a compressed fracture involves a bone being crushed.

Johnson's article also explained how the healing process works. Inflammation is the first step in the process, and involves hematoma—a liquid that is rich in bone-regrowth cells—flooding the space between the two broken shards of bone. After that, it builds a soft cartilage, which mends the two pieces together in a process called repair. After that, remolding occurs, and that soft cartilage turns into bone over time.

Johnson, the workers' comp lawyer from Atlanta, is encouraging people suffering from work injuries that resulted in broken bones to touch base with his firm for a complementary consultation. To contact Johnson and his team, please visit his website, or dial 404-692-6482.
