Replying to Injury CLAIM
so the other thread i was writing in inspired me to write this one. i have never met anyone with as many ortho surgeries as me or as many broken bones. i guess the point of this thread is to list your major injuries (skiing related or not) and we see whos in the worst shape. also list your age so we have an idea of how long it took to get like that. i'll start:
Dan, age 25
Bones:
2 broken wrists - both skiing
4 broken thumbs - all skiing
1 broken finger
5 broken ribs (one was broken in 2 spots) - 3 due to skiing
4 broken radii (2 injuries, 2 brakes each) - 2 due to skiing
2 broken ulna
1 broken humerus
1 broken jaw - due to skiing
2 broken noses - 1 due to skiing
grand total: 22 bones broken
Surgeries:
1 left meniscus repair (arthro) - occured while running
2 right acl repairs (arthro, one right after 5 months of rehab for the other) - both due to skiing
1 metal plate and six screws in right arm near elbow (because of one of the radius injuries) - due to skiing
1 metal plate and six screws in left arm near shoulder (because of the humerus injury)
grand total: 5 reconstructive surgeries.
Can anyone beat those numbers? I hope not but let us know either way.
