To ask you what bones you have broken?

[TurtleCavalryIsSeriousShit]

I was reading the 'broken ankle' thread and was amazed at how many people have broken their ankles or tibula/fibula.

I mean, I know people break bones all the time , but honestly, before my car accident at the age of 39 I had only had a green fracture in my arm at the age of 4.

So here I am thinking I'm all unique with all my broken bones, but I'd actually really like to know about other peoples'.

I'll go first (this was in the car accident in January):

R collarbone
2 ribs (one in two places)
R pelvis
R femur (upper leg)
R tibula/fibula (lower leg)
L femur
L heel

Obviously I'm held together by a lot of metal at the moment but it's better than a head injury or being dead (obviously). And for some reason I am super proud of my scars.

Please tell me your stories?

Never broken a bone, am nearly 40! Reading this thread has me wondering if I am overly cautious!

allegretto
I am wincing just reading that!

Left collarbone when I was 9.

Biking down an alley way, car pulled up at the house just at the bottom of the alley. I didn't brake in time and crashed into the side.

4 days before Christmas - I was brought a scooter and pogo stick that year

Funnily, I have now moved into that house (well I was 19 when we moved here). So I broke my collarbone 15 years ago, outside a house I have lived in now for 5 years.

Ring finger , middle toe, scapula, collar bone and all my ribs .

I acquired an avulsion fracture of my cuboid bone in my foot. Damned cats on the stairs!!

Most of my fingers
My right foot
Right hand - first and fifth metacarpals (separate incidents)
Collarbone
Eye socket
2 separate rib breaking incidents

All horse related

It seems that I have been luckier than most but have had my fair share.
Broke left arm when about 12 , I was trying to get a horse to go over a jump , I went over the horse did not !
Not a broken bone but knocked myself out for about 8 mins when working in a barn stacking hay bales and walked into a rafter .
worst by far cycling on a main road when a car pulled out to turn right from my left hand side, I hit the cars wing , bonnet ,roof , boot ( diagonally over the car )
4 inch fracture to the scull even though I was wearing a helmet , unconscious for almost a hour.
broken clavicle / torn tendon and muscle around it .
2 broke and one fractured rib,
broken little finger and one next to it.
Fortunately I recovered ok but still have some problems with movement in my shoulder, the accident was about 20 years ago.

Many tiny bones in my left hand - fell of a gallop horse and ended up underneath it...so it's stamped all over me.

Tibial plateau (the bit at the top of the tibia the knee sits in) had to be pinned, two surgeries later and they're talking about replacing the knee...horse riding accident again.

Tbh, given the silly things I've done both on horses and off of them I think I've done quite well 😂

A fractured bone is just the medical term for a broken bone - they are one and the same thing.

As you were

Megclearly- I broke my scaphoid 12 years ago. It's fine now, however, I did have it in plaster for 15 weeks. It hadn't even moved together after 6. Sorry!

managed to have an argument with a ladder and the floor at work on thursday (i clean a commercial kitchen) and have broken a small bone in my wrist, first broken bone in my life

My little toe on the right. I stubbed it and it was sooooo painful!!

I broke my first bone this summer at the grand old age of 48, my little toe after I stubbed it on the sofa on holiday

Two metatarsals in my left foot together with the ankle. Coccyx. Skull. Nose.

Have also dislocated my kneecap, torn most of the meniscus in one knee and completely tore the ACL in the right one which needed surgically reconstructed. Those hurt way worse than breaking any of those bones.

Every finger except my thumbs.

Every toe except big toes.

Collar bone, shoulder blade, both wrists, several metacarpals and meta tarsals.

Nose three times, eye socket, chipped jaw.

Left ankle.

Seven different ribs in three different incidents.

Coccyx and sternum- these are by far and above the most painful ones ever. Ever.

Well, if I will keep horses and go skiing....

Not fractured anything yet.

I've been in car accidents, bicycle v. car accidents, come off horses. As a kid I jumped off single storey roofs, out of trees, etc. I must have been very lucky.

@kateyjane cheers for the reply, am now crapping self!

Both wrists, horse riding accidents. Last one needed a surgery and a metal pins.

I've broken both my little toes a few times

Stubbed my little toe and broke it, right little finger knuckle ski-ing, major break of upper humerus bone, had to have partial shoulder replacement after that. Never been the same since, can't lift that arm above shoulder level.

None...I’m 56 with MS and prone to falls when transferring from my wheelchair

Playing hockey: ankle x2
Horses related: wrist, ribs, little finger, big toe and little toes
Car accident: ribs, pelvis and arm

Only other peoples

Wrist twice (playground injuries)
Ankle (beer injury)
Coccyx (childbirth... violent forceps delivery)

Fractured scaphoid after slipping on ice.
Fractured skull after slipping down diving board ladders.
Managed not to break anything. I'm too bendy so just sprain things instead!
