V18 Posted January 8 Posted January 8 (edited) Over the last few years I have seen countless X-rays/CT's/MRI's of cycling related injuries. Quite a number of them from our own cycling WhatsApp group. A picture is worth a thousand words. X-rays/CT's/MRI's are probably worth that and then some! Please share yours here. Cropped and anonymized. If you can, a brief description of the circumstances and outcome. I'm sure we'll have quite the archive in no time. Edited January 8 by V18 jdwet1980 1

Im trying to stay positive but i was told it will be a difficult surgery due to complexity of the mess i made. I know there is a tendency, especially with older docs, to rather under promise and over deliver, but they were not shying away from the fact that this will be a difficult puzzle to put back together and will need some proper recovery if it all goes to plan even. He reckons it could be 12 months. I hope not. My mental health wont make it. Riding bikes (badly) is my happy place. I said i can do 12 weeks - final offer.

I’m sure I posted the x-ray somewhere on here previously. Edit: found the photo in a post from 2016 Edited January 8 by Frosty Thermophage 1
Anthem24 Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Sympathies for your injuries. I have a soft spot in my heart that inhibits my ability to do out-of-town events that require an overnight stay. MORNE , Phatman, Spinnaroonie and 10 others 4 9
Jbr Posted January 9 Posted January 9 This is what happens when you try to hop on the pavement on a road bike after 4 hours of hard riding. Slowest OTB of my life, it's just the torsion that mad my arm break I couldn't believe it... Actually made me wonder if I had low bone density or something but nope... Also had a bit of a break in the wrist a couple of years ago, but can't remember the xray being very explicit, at least not like this one. Like many above, also went through a nice snapped collar bone, but not cycling related so it doesn't count (plus it's so old I wouldn't know how to find a photo, it was long before facebook and all that, original is probably at my parents somewhere) BuffsVintageBikes, MORNE and ChrisF 3
StripesOfYellow Posted January 9 Posted January 9 (edited) Ah, fun topic. So far my only significant injury, fractured clavicle in mid-October. It was a very uncomfortable few days leading up to the surgery, as the displaced piece was poking and scraping directly up against the skin. Doctor said I was lucky it didn't actually break through the skin. Edited January 9 by StripesOfYellow Two attachments added by accident ChrisF 1
