FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who should go to the Injury Clinic?
The Injury Clinic sees patients ages 5 and older. Our extended hours benefit Little Leaguers, working parents, and weekend warriors. If you have an orthopedic issue, such as a sprain, strain, or fracture, we are here to help you.
Should I go to the Orthopedic Injury Clinic to be evaluated if I think I have a concussion?
We are unable to evaluate patients with concussions. If you suspect you have a concussion, schedule an appointment with a sports medicine specialist by calling 314-514-3500.
Why should I come to the Injury Clinic over an Urgent Care or Emergency Department?
- Save time. A typical visit to the Injury Clinic will be quicker than a visit to the Emergency Department or Urgent Care. If casting, splinting, or imaging is required, we can take care of it during your appointment.
- See a specialist. You will be seen by an orthopedic specialist at our location. If follow-up care is required, it will be scheduled before you leave.
- Save money. The co-payment at the Injury Clinic is the same as a specialty physician office visit. This is a less-expensive option than a trip to the Emergency Department. While WashU Medicine participates with most medical plans, please call the number on the back of your insurance card to verify your coverage.
What can I do to prepare for my visit?
In an effort to minimize wait time and to expedite your visit, please fill out these patient forms in advance and present them at check-in.
Is there a charge for parking?
No, parking is free.
What if someone has suffered a life-threatening injury?
The Washington University Orthopedic Injury Clinic is not an emergency care provider or a substitute for emergency care. If there is any indication that you've suffered a serious or life-threatening injury, call 911 or go to an Emergency Department immediately.
