Gnarly Injury/Crash/Recovery Pics

[Turbo]

As the title suggests.... Who's got any gnarly crash, injury or recovery pics they want to share?

I'll start with some x-rays I had done today:







And I've also graduated from crutches to a racing stick....

[Marshy]

That's unreal!!! Nice pics!! Love the racing stick

this must be still unhealed from 5 yrs ago

Medical cleaned it up and informed me to get it looked at , as i wanted to pack up my stuff and drive home .
Later on after unpacking all the gear i thought i had better go to the medical centre to get them to have a look .. they informed me .. "i think you need to go to the hospital." There wasn't any pain just looked bad .
Ended up with day surgery to repair the tendon and fit a pin in there to stop movement while it healed plus another 2 days in hospital , they wanted to keep me in to make sure it didn't get infected , and a month off work.

So make sure you have some decent gloves on , preferably the ones with the last two fingers joined together , this would have prevented this .

Here's my right humerus. Shattered and rotated the surgical head (the ball part) when I smashed my supermoto 3 months ago.

Holy hell marty. Bunnings is now sold out of screws.

[Turbo]

I got a bit of a shock at my latest leg x-ray....
I've snapped one of the screws that holds the titanium rod in place:


Apparently they can break and according to the surgeon, it's by design and means my bone is taking more weight.
That's apparently a good thing but it didn't stop me from getting a pretty big shock!

That's insane ... Surgeon didn't happen to tell you whose kit he used?

[Turbo]

He's a mate of Johnny-B's. Really can't complain, he's done a top job and the leg is healing really well.

Mecano ?

[Marshy]

Mecano ?

Lego is all the rage again these days.

[Turbo]

Mecano ?

Only a few more operations and injuries won't be a problem...

[Marshy]

Awwwwww. That's sooooo cute!!!

[Marshy]

For the first time in 4 surgeries (!) I've FINALLY seen some film of the injury! Hang on, let me upload it via Tapatalk.

Here we go:

[Leezx10r]

There's some material in there marshy, how you going? Home yet?

[Marshy]

How did you get that full body shot of me?!?

Home safe and sound, with a huge shout out to the Bagger and Mrs Bagger, Stu & Carl Kitson, Owen, Dan Mick James, Little Mick and countless others at the track that all pitched in to get my gear safely packed up and back to my house in Sydney, car & trailer, all in one piece and at the same time that I arrived. I'm continually blown away by the generosity and caring, collaborative spirit that makes up the Australian track and race scene. We have some very special people here, and it's in times of need that it really shows.

[Nick63]

wow...You boys are hard core for sure!
For what it takes, nice pics. :-)

Just glad you're in one'ish piece to be honest mate. Besides, I'm sure you'd do the same for me...

[Ruckos87]

Here's my elbow, after a SMSP T6 high side. Fortunately No screws or pins but a nice shot non the less.

Did the wrist and hand in 2009, no major issues except it's a bit weaker than it used to be. The collar bone was in 2013 and hasn't joined. The surgeon reckons if it doesn't cause me any problems he'll just leave it. If I bang it hard again it will come through the skin and then he'll have to fix it. All sounded a bit odd until I was told surgeons avoid surgery because it a) creates a risk and b) it pushes their insurance premiums up. Obviously they must make decent money from consultations.

That's a heck of a dislocation!
Great that we now know the super top secret username and password they use on the software too! lol

Yeah, they often say they could potentially do more harm than good with surgery. I'm ok with that!

Any idea of the recovery time for that one Nick?

[Little Mick]

Full recovery by ardc day tomorrow

[Marshy]

Full recovery by ardc day tomorrow

This!!!! ^^^^^^




6 to 8 weeks before I can put any weight at all on it. So 6 to 8 weeks before I can race a bike again!!

RACE a bike? maybe you should just try riding one, and build up to racing, that is if you can put a boot on ;-)

Where is the fun in that

Agreed. Besides, I like stretch targets.

When you say hasn't joined do you mean its still giving you grief 2 years later?I have heard that some people the bone rejoins but the joining point can stay mushy and flexes rather than regrowing solid (fucking yikes)I snapped mine on the 5th of January at turn 1 and it is feeling about 95% normal now.Mine joined overlapping (malunion).

Mine's a non union. There's a 3mm gap where the two halves overlap. It doesn't cause too much grief but I can't lift heavy weights above shoulder height or the bones come together and grind.

[CBR42]

Ouch.Is it wait and see as far as if it eventually joins up or do they basically leave it like that?Sounds awful.I know i spent the first month worried out of my mind that it wasnt going to heal up as it was wobling around so much initially.

[Mr.Ed]

Fark... and I thought mine was bad! It did take nearly 2 years to be 100% again. It will never be straight though

No, it's not going join back up so they're just going to leave it. As I said, it doesn't cause too many problems other than annoyance but I do regret not insisting on having in plated in the first place.

I shouldn't have read this just before tomorrow's PCRA round.

I insisted soooooo much... even went to different Docs but no one would touch it 'cause "too much risk of nerve damage in that region and you're not a professional athlete". They obviously saw one of my videos before

[Stu23]

I went through several specialists in the UK when i smashed by collarbone..... Its true they dont like to operate.. mine took over 2 months to even begin sorting itself out.. something to do with the Brachial nerve ? basically if they fook this up, your left with a permanently useless arm which aint good
