well, this should clear it up....


but, that wasn't the worst of it. here's my pelvis...notice the BROKEN screw!

 

wow, i am glad you posted this topic. i was wondering in fact, and now I can sleep in peace

 

.....that's why I stay away from motorcycles.

-the r0cker, who is solly "rod-knee" had to go through that.

 

*** that must have hurt....

 

touche'! (or however you spell that..) but, i have had numerous emails/im's asking me why people call me rodney. so, i figured i'd snap a pic or 2 of some of my xrays.

 

Youch thats gota hurt. I work in the medical imaging field and I get to see some pretty bad stuff, this is a 7 on the bad factor. We have some images where you can't even make out a solid bone, looks like it got run over by a steem roller.

How long ago did that happen?

You're going to have fun at airport security lines!

 

The doctors call them donor cycles

 

Oh man... that must have been tough going through that.

 

ouch

yoshi - who just thought rodney *was* his real name

 

ouch...

I thought my arm was bad...

-who should be called "Rodarm"

 

yeah thats what they told my parents while i was in the trauma unit in a coma. said thats where they get most of there organs....i wish i had a dig cam cause i got some xrays of my elbow. nothin compared to yours. 2 plates and 14 screws.

 

my fibula xray looks identical to that! the only painful part is when the screws start to bend and back themselves out. i was amazed that i could walk on mine a week after it was broken and protruding from my body, ouch! it wont set off airport metal detectors, its made of titanium.

 

heh, bionic! I kinda figured it was titanium, but hey, a bad joke is a bad joke....well, you've got more in common with a car than most people, right?

 

Skateboards are bad too.. mmmkay





Not me, just an image we use to demo some software with.

 

backed out????
EWWWWWWWWW

 

Stainless steel here...

My bone is receding away from the screws = loose connection = a little play in the old arm.

that's about what my arm looked like when i busted my azz on a half pipe with a skatebaord.

 

I've seen tons of films of fractured bones. You certainly have alot of hardware. The pelvis is like a pretzel. You can't fracture it in only one place.

 

i was fracture free (not counting a tooth) until last spring, when i snaped my right clavical while skiing (actually, while crashing, skiing would have been fine)....fortunately, nature was able to do it's thing, and it mended with a nice lump to freak people out. Here's hoping we keep the percentage of metal holding H-T members together at a minimum, glad you guys are still kickin it with a tasty groove.

 

Thanks 105.9......

 

man i should post a pic of my healed elbow...

stupid doctor set it wrong, so now i have what's called a gunstock deformity....its pretty funky...ahhh where's my camera

 

Man, "Rodney", I must not have been the only one to ask you about this.

 

Ouch...
So rod-knee, are you going to tell us how it happened...or did I skip over that in my half assed thread skimming?

 

yuck, i'm gonna go drink a gallon of milk and sit in a padded chair now.
