I Trapped my left thumb in the car door when I was getting dropped off at school. At the time my folks had a Vauxhall Cavalier that was about 12 years old so this was befoer car tdoors had lots of padding like they do now. I was a bit concerned when my Dad started to pull away with me attatched to the car. Luckily he noticed and took me home, laughed (who wouldn't?) and phoned the GP. Nice big bandage on my thumb. The same thumb got staved a couple years later which meant more bandages.

Hand a minor concussion and quite a few cuts, scrapes and bruises when I came of my bike at the wrong moment but I was assisted.

Kind of minor compared to some of the humdingers posted but it's the best I can do!

In fact, my scar from an operation I had when I was about 9 is about the only noticeable permanent scar I've got.

Must have had a sheltered upbringing!

This thread would be easier if it was about near misses. Had loads of them.

Interesting thing to think about hmm..

I have a mark on my left knee,it was actually under my knee but it went there since I grew up.I was like 3 or 4,I don't even remember it well but we were traveling from our city to a further one,we stopped at a gas station and there was a playground,I went to play there and then I ended up falling down

Another one is on my wrist,I was like 11,and that day I was in a rush,about to leave home for school then somehow I scratched my wrist on the front door,I thought it wasn't something significant but the mark stayed there.

I have some marks on my feet but I don't remember how they happened and it's hard to see them

I've never broken a bone... ever. (Last famous words...)

I nearly lost the end of my finger 3 weeks ago but ended up with a black bit under the nail instead and a sore finger. Bit of an anti-climax there.

Given the nature of the job, injuries can become quite easy to come-by if you get complacent.

I've had a number of sports injuries over the years. Probably the most dramatic was a compound displacement fracture of my tibial plateau, done while skiing a steep icy piste. The damage required 2.5 hours of surgery, a plate, 3 screws and a partial transplant from a cadaver to repair. Following the surgery, I was in physio for 9 months, 5 days a week, 4 hours a day. And yes, it did leave a scar.

and a partial transplant from a cadaver to repair.

okay dude, not for nothing, but you seriously owe us an explanation! Especially the "partial" part.

I sincerely hope the cadaver wasn't partial to the transplant...
I mean, do cadavers even have the option of an opinion??

(( that was just too easy... ))

[operaman]

According to the surgeon, when I did the eggbeater my quad muscles powered my femur right through my tibial plateau. To repair it they put a steel rod with a sort of plate at the top into my tibia and tried to rebuild the bone around it. In some places the bone was too badly damaged (it was in 12 pieces), so they transplanted in pieces of a cadaver (really like multiple bone grafts) then secured everything with 3 screws. The surgery was extensive, the scar is about 10" in length and was initially peppered with 22 chrome staples. The good part was that the knee was partial load bearing, so I never had a hard cast and I could start physio right away. In fact, when I awoke from the surgery my leg was in a machine pumping up and down ... it had started physio without me. Believe it or not, I was riding a stationary bike less than a week later.
