Share your X-ray/CT/MRI of your most noteworthy cycling related injury.

[V18]

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.

Ball in hip bust off the femur, plated and plates removed. Very lucky to be able to still ride.

I'm offended that i could only select one option.

My body is a temple, no, a mapped outline to a temple... to scarsdale.

So just to be clear, you won't be riding this weekend? 😜

Ok. This is quite the yield for a few hours of thread activity. *invests in the local trauma-ortho practice*

Ugh. 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.

Pretty much the same as me, which was (for me) 12 years ago (next month). I’m sure I posted the x-ray somewhere on here previously. 
 

Edit: found the photo in a post from 2016

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.

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)

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.
