Have you every broken a bone?

Question

If you have how did it happen?

Just so you know I have never broken a bone in my life. I almost broke my finger though from getting my finger slammed in the door by my little cousin.

Answer 1

I was a back seat passenger in a serious car accident a few years ago. I broke a number of bones. I had a Fractured Skull, I broke most of the bones in my left hand, as well as my two left wrist bones the radius and ulna. I had a rather bad break on my right femur....I knew my leg was broken when I looked down, and the bottom of my foot was facing up instead of down! Rounding down the injuries from that accident I also broke all the toes on my rt foot.

There were no seat belts in the back seat of the car I was injured in....... This was a blessing in disguise. The trauma surgeon told me that the force of the impact would have instantly snapped my neck if I was wearing the standard rear seat lap belt. So I guess it was a good thing I was not buckled up.

Answer 3

Only once: I broke my right shoulder in high school football in my sophomore year, during tackling practice. The ball of the humerus, which fits into a shallow socket in the scapula to form the shoulder, fractured just before reaching the ball where it fit into the socket.

For the next three months I was in a body cast from the neck to the waist in which was embedded a steel support holding the right arm up at a 90 degree angle from the body, the cast ending at the right wrist.

Although it was awkward and uncomfortable and itched under the cast (I carried a hacksaw blade to school and stuck it under the cast to scratch when the itching became unbearable), it healed up fine and I was able to play football without further incident during my junior and senior years.

Answer 4

Broke my collar bone wrestling in the park when I was about 5 or 6. I hit it on a tree stump. It really sucked because it hurt like hell to sit up or anything. I had to wear this thing called a figure eight brace for 2 months.

Answer 5

Yes, a small tiny pea sized bone in the bottom of my foot. I landed a jump in an elective dance class in college and it broke. I now wear orthopedics to prevent more injury.They told me if I had orthopedics in the first place it wouldn't have happened and if my dance instructor should have looked at my feet before admitting me in to the class :-(. Now I have these lovely orthopedics to wear the rest of my life. no fun.
I also broke my finger twice playing basket ball in HS.

Answer 6

Leg- Tib Fib fracture. Hit by a car on my motorcycle in uptown Manhattan.

Middle toe: Caught on door jamb while chasing cat down hallway that had escaped from flea bath.

Right pointing finger: Hit by heavy knife in an *incident*- cut to bone and fractured (owww..)

I think I've had my fill...

Answer 7

my big toe. when i was 8 yrs old. and i broke the growth bone so if i was to bump it really hard then it would have stayed the same size. I did it while trying to do a cherry drop off the monkey bars!! needless to say the teachers at school made me stay at school for the rest of the day.

Answer 8

Your question is a bit confusing, but to answer quite frankly: if someone breaks every bone in your body and leaves you lying and nobody passes by and gets help to you, you'll die :S Sad, but true. Good luck !

Answer 9

Answer 10

I broke my pinky toe. I was living in this reall old house at the time and I slipped on the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs was a framed door and I hit my toe on the door frame. Hurt like heck too.
