Have You Ever Broken A Body Part?

Question

A leg? Finger? Back? Foot? Did you have to have surgery? A cast? How long did it take to heal?

I never have but I have torn cartilage in my knee and had surgery. Was on crutches for 3 weeks! So many painful answers! lol!

Answer 1

My left knee.

Answer 2

I'm going to do this in list form, with body part, age, how I did it, healing time, and any other information.

Nose-2-Slipped and fell onto a table-about 6 weeks

Left leg-3-I am knock kneed and hit a wall while running-about 6 weeks

*Not technically a break, but I had to have a bone removed from my knee*-Left knee-8-knelt into a sewing needle and it broke in my kneecap-About 3 months, required surgery

Pinky toe on right foot-15-accidentally kicked by a friend while walking-2-3 months, can't remember!

Cracked left shin-16-car accident-2 months since I didn't seek treatment

Right foot-18-Got caught under a set piece for a play and was bumped twice-Never healed right, stopped hurting after 3 months

Right foot-21-Fell down cement stairs and it bent backwards, resulting in a sprain and fracture-Crutches for 3 days, cast for 3 weeks, still not completely healed 3.5 months later

Answer 3

Since I've always been a bit of a risk taker I've had several.

Broken arm, compound-both bones. set and reset and took 6 month.

Cut off a finder on left hand. Was really interesting because of which finger it was. And it reattached quite well in a few weeks, but took 10 years of feeling to completely reattach in the severed end.

Ripped loose tendons in left arm from shoulder to elbow, was absolutely gorgeous color. Took about a year for all tendons to repair and get full range of movement. My son told me that I was the only person who could have a bruise that bad and admire the color.

Others, but hope that answers you question!

Answer 4

My right collar bone was broken when I was a little girl (I was jumping on the bed and went sailing off onto the floor). No surgery was required; but I had a nice little cast--from my shoulder to my fingers---for a few months. That was no fun....

Answer 5

Yes,i broke my wrist by roller blading,i fell on a 1 step and i tended to put my hand on the ground so i wont fall backward and so my wrist snapped,yes i had a surgery right after 6 hours,had the cast for 6 weeks!

Answer 6

My wrist when I was young..I had a cast.

From a car accident..3 ribs, collar bone and ulna..
cast for the arm..wrap for the rib and collar bone..OUCH

And broke my little toe from accidentally slamming it into the dresser the wrong way. Not much you can do with a broken toe other than try to splint it.

Also my heart has been broken several times.

Answer 7

Left wrist, no surgery, cast only, 6-8 weeks.

Right ankle, no surgery, no cast, 6 MONTHS for all the "effects" to be healed.


Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

Answer 8

i broke my right ankle when i was 11 or 12. had to wear a cast for 6 weeks. it healed fine.
broke my left ankle as an adult. had to have surgery and screws put in. wore one cast for 6 weeks and another one for an additional 6 weeks.
i don't have a full range of motion and it gets stiff and locks up.

Answer 9

When i was 8 ( (I'm 15 now) i broke my left leg. I fell of the big slide at the playground. My leg's never fully healed either it's a tiny bit shorter than my right leg. The bone's a bit crooked too.

Answer 10

Toe. No cast or surgery. About four weeks to heal completely.

Answer 11

I've broken my right wrist twice. I had to wear a cast both times for about a month and a half to two months each. Luckily, I didn't have to have surgery.
