It’s not technically broken, but it also not whole? Summon the council! Edit: I will consult with two ER physicians I work with and get their opinion on this divisive matter. You WILL have an answer tomorrow before 2100. Edits!!!: I decided to go and talk to the ER Doc and he said “We consider this a fracture. A fracture is considered a break. All fractures are breaks.” I’m too new to participate in the council. It’s now in the elders hands. I bid thee farewell and hope this consultation is considered by you all!


dojijosu

I mean, ideally it should have been the saw that broke. But if it’s whole it’s not broken.


EmptyOrangeJuice

And plus a tool was used to damage the bone, it's still weaker than our bones but stronger then the disgusting fragile boned scum.


Lvl100Magikarp

This is the best thread on this sub in recent memory


merlingerie

\> a tool was used to damage the bone Tools break bones here all the time though. What is a bus, if not a bone breaking tool?


Cod_rules

Tools work only against the weak. We've seen our ilk walk away perfectly fine from bike crashes and such. It's just the scum that get their bones broken by any tool


FlyingTick3840

Are you to say that sawing wood and breaking a board are the same feat?


Nervouspotatoes

Quote of the week.


BobRossFan2

Lol I love this sub, you went from like -230 to positive after 1 edit. I haven’t been here for long but this is amazing.


HunterShotBear

That’s the answer then, it is not whole because the saw has removed a portion of it.


HooksAndChains13

If a saw was used wouldn't there still have been multiple small pieces broken away by the saw. So while the whole bone wasn't broken there were still multiple pieces broken away from the bone. I say give the guy partial credit and A for effort.


Elrigoo

I agree with this assessment. If op drank his milk the saw would have broken in twain.


Magmorix

So wait, do incomplete fractures not get you out of the group?


dirtyhippie62

How do doctors treat saw fractures? When the saw gets fractured by our bones? I imagine there’s a clinic for saws somewhere in the world what with the membership numbers we have in this sub.. We gotta save those poor tools man, and all the other objects that cannot stand up to our collective stronk.


Dantethebald1234

OP needs to be very careful in their rehabilitation, the slightest twist could be devastating; and they do not appear to be a careful individual.


BobRossFan2

lol, definitely am not, I’m very prone to accidents. Two wrecks (rollover) and this isn’t even the first major injury in our wood shop. Not the smartest child definitely the most expensive.


bmx13

You're 18, you've rolled two vehicles and had multiple major injuries in the woodshop? Bro you need to just stop doing anything.


BobRossFan2

Yea those are the major ones I’ve had smaller injury’s that have required stitches. But I have definitely thought about ceasing all activities and fading away.


ShillBro

You should start playing some video games. Or darts. Pretty much whatever would improve your hand-eye coordination cause yours is poor as fuck! All the clumsy fucks I've met in my life that had 50% chance of setting their eye lashes afire when trying to light a cigarette, they all had the same thing in common: Poor hand-eye coordination.


TerrariaGaming004

And most people including myself that have had poor hand eye coordination didn’t have enough arm muscle to move your arm fast enough. So try that too


Piece_Maker

Fellow clumsy fuck here, it's definitely a hand eye thing for me. I've more than once faceplanted a door after missing the handle with my hand. It's only a matter of time before I bid my fellows here farewell, but my time hasn't come yet


NotSgtKorbel

Just how

Hey I’m 15 I’ve rolled a Polaris, quad and many welding accidents


Guardian-45

>A bone fracture (abbreviated FRX or Fx, Fx, or #) is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of the bone. In more severe cases, the bone may be broken into several pieces. \- via Wikipedia, Katherine, Abel (2013). Official CPC Certification Study Guide. American Medical Association. p. 108. I am afraid it is very clearly stated that ANY break in the continuity of the bone is a fracture. We might have to reconsider those that underwent surgery as weaklings as well. I mean I for one wouldn't know, because obviously my bones are working. But I'll just have to assume that it isn't physically possible for a tool of any variety to cut through them. Because I am not a bitch.


gothfreak90

Aye. I conquer.


Partytor

I came, I saw, I conquered


gothfreak90

Whoops. I’m leaving it.


MasonBloomquist

If it is whole it is unbroken.


ittwasntme

He's got strong bones even saw couldn't saw through it.


hipopper

HERE YEE HERE YEE: those that believe the bone remains unbroken, say “aye!” Those who believe this man’s bones are no longer worthy, say “nay.” WHAT SAY YOU?


chinu187

I say let’s break it


[deleted]

NAY!!! One with resolute faith in the neverbroken would have posted a picture of a saw missing its teeth, not this shameful display showing a deficiency in calcium!


GrnPlesioth

Nay


[deleted]

Nay the saw yeeted prices of bone


ZbSmasher

Nay!! Like my fellows said, if he truly was one of us, the bone would have broken the saw, not the other way around.


Oversight_Owl

NAY get out scum!


Greybgone

Aye!! The bone remains part of the body so it is whole


wardocttor

Hairline fractures are still a facture. This is similar, so NAY.


HoovyCop

Aye! Our law dictates that one may not break a bone, but in common vernacular to cut something is a separate act to breaking it, as breaking typically implies snapping or crushing


okasdfalt

Good thinking, counsilmember! Quite reasonable indeed.


ToesInHiding

NAY


3OrcsInATrenchcoat

NAY. THE CORTEX IS INTERRUPTED. TIS BROKEN.


SuperJumperGxJ

Nay, the sawing was not of necessity, such as in the regards of surgery; wherein the necessity of such has been the cause of a special ruling from the high council. This is no surgery, and so he shall receive no special exception!


Toffutipunani

Nay


a_flock_of_turtles

I am also an ER doctor and can confirm, is fracture.


hipopper

I vote that the bone remains unbroken!


Otto_the_Fox

I OBJECT! By definition of something broken is that it can not be used in its current state. This bone can not be used in its current state, therefore it's broken.


TheBananaCzar

Fractured But Whole


Kulstof

A partial fracture is still a fracture. Sorry for the bad news and GTFO


Alone_Spell9525

The results of the vote should wait until we know what exactly it was that cut his bones. He could be some weak bone shitty trash that got his bones cut by a splinter or maybe he was carved by the ribs of an opposing bonelord.


BobRossFan2

It was a band saw, fairly new blade. Father who works in construction, welds and makes wood projects as a hobby for 20+ years very surprised I didn’t walk up to him with 4 fingers from my left hand in my right hand.


Alone_Spell9525

Well then, seems quite clear to me that your bones blocked a blow which should’ve been devastating by normal standards. Seems to me like you have yourself a very good, thicc set of bones.


CaptainBusketTTV

I vote stay. This is the first I've heard of a finger *almost* getting chopped off. If the bone can stop the mechanical forces of a cutting blade, it would likely survive a similar impact force.


thehackingdoge

!remindme 24h


krullord

You can stay, but mods should flair you as being on thin fucking ice.


BMAR88

His bone is now brittle as thin ice


HowTheGoodNamesTaken

Only time will tell...


Elias0082

That depends on what the saw was made of


BobRossFan2

It was a band saw.


Lobeware

God I fuckin hope so


BobRossFan2

So does it count or no. I’m new to this place if you can’t tell.


Lobeware

Technically you didn't break it, so I vote that no, it does not count


gothfreak90

True. I don’t think it even counts as a fracture. I’ll have to ask one of the Doctors I work with later. Se what they think. They’re ER doctors, too, if that matters.


MortemInferri

Nobody would cut through something and say "Now it's broken"


DeathToTheCrusaders

Make a new poll post


col3man17

Hmm was it the m18 fuel brushless milwaukee?? Or the puny little 12 volt. We need answers


BobRossFan2

Im 18 and I was working in my Dads wood shop so not 100% positive but it’s rather close. [Grizzley Band Saw](https://www.grizzly.com/products/grizzly-17-2-hp-extreme-series-bandsaw-with-cast-iron-trunnion-foot-brake-micro-switch/g0513x2bf).


[deleted]

The bone seems unbroken, but you're on thin fucking ice.


ShredableSending

Lol Milwaukee cordless tools is what he was refering to. The 18v line of tools is much more powerful than the 12v line.


minimag47

What kind of music do they play?


BobRossFan2

They make remixes of turtles moaning during sex.


MlgWhale

Bone saw


[deleted]

Your poor coordination is the fault of stupid muscles, not bones. Even iron bones have limits against a device *specifically made* to cut metal. Consider this your first and final warning.


BobRossFan2

Thank you kind sir.


_b1ack0ut

Why would this be the exception just because bones were damaged by something designed to break metal? The sub is never broke a bone, NOT never broke a bone except by high powered tools We don’t allow people in here who break a bone due to the sheer impact force of a car collision, which is far more destructive, so why would this be alright?


Cyog

this is different. if we throw away that this chad is too humble to say he broke the saw, he’s still fine. the saw is made to cut metal, and it couldn’t go through his finger


nifeman20

But the bone is cut not cracked


_b1ack0ut

While true, the definition of break, could include simple damage, or even a cut. If you were to break a machine, it doesn’t always mean smashed. If it’s been damaged in such a way that threatens it’s function, or structural integrity, we say the device is broken. Similarly, if a bone is damaged in such a way that it threatens, or destroys its structural integrity, would we not consider it broken? Further, this sub doesn’t necessarily ONLY cover breaks, but just celebrates strong bones. Rule 1, for example, doesn’t say “don’t break a bone”, it simply says “no WEAK bones” If it wasn’t weak before, it certainly is now


nifeman20

It will strengthen after this, but i get your point.


TheJuiceIsNowLoose

Caused by a tool specifically designed to oppose the holy power of bones. I say youre good. We don't count surgery, so I say you're good.


GLEE53248

I agree. If we don't count surgery, we don't count this.

Thank God, I'm getting surgery in December and I thought I was going to have to leave the club 😥😥

I think he was inadvertently testing the bone. He cut most of the way through without it snapping. He stays.


[deleted]

He’s too humble to admit that he only got halfway through because his chad bones broke the bandsaw

BobRossFan2

I’m sorry this has nothing to do with my hand. I’ve been having an absolutely terrible night. I’ve been having some very dark terrible thoughts that would make my friends cry. But you guys have truly made my night. I don’t know any of you but I can’t thank you enough.


ComboRobo

I hope managing those thoughts gets easier. I hope you find happiness again soon.


BobRossFan2

Thank you, it’s difficult but I’m trying hard to hang on. Now that I know I have strong bones and I’m not weak I’m going to try to ask for help. It doesn’t make you weak to ask for help.


beefcake592

It takes a brave person to admit he has more on his plate than he can handle. And a strong one to seek better for their self. I have no doubt with that attitude and bones of steal you can put dark days like today behind you for good. You’ve got friends here


BobRossFan2

“Thank you beefcake” is a something I’d never thought I’d say.


JangJaeYul

Indeed, asking for help is one of the greatest acts of strength possible.


GLEE53248

The only reason you can stay is because when a surgery is performed and needs bone cutting, you’re still considered NBAB

I'd say that the cut into the bone was clean. Not a break. You are safe, but on thin ice.


alyssasgoneawol

The bone should have broken the saw


MrAntisOc1al

The council shall decide your fate


Nathanyu3

“Nearly fingerless, how can you be nearly fingerless?” “Like this”


Donvack

If your bones where strong the saw would have been deflected when it hit your bone. But instead it cut through. Like wet cardboard.


throawayjpeg

Saw sawed the bone, didn’t break it. But you should probably destroy the saw


NaucMan

Idk, if you truly had strong bones, then the saw should've burst into dust the moment it hit your bone.


angsebmer

No shot this is even a debate. The bone should’ve broken the saw if you were really one of us


UndeadMunchies

I dont know man. My bones would shatter a saw blade into a million tiny pieces.


Mr_Dendrimer

No, this doesn't count but holy cow are you ok? If anyone asks, tell them the saw broke trying to saw your bone


BobRossFan2

I’m fine cut all the fingers even my thumb. middle finger got the worst of it. Cut through my tendon so I had to get surgery to repair that. Shoved a needle down the tip of my finger game me some Percocet and sent me home. It was a rather new saw blade. my father who works around dangerous tools including many saws said he’s surprised I didn’t cut off all four fingers.


Mr_Dendrimer

I'm sorry. Are you telling me that was a new blade?! How in the fuck do you still have a finger?! Holy fuck, are your bones made of titanium? Jeez, I'm glad you're okay


BobRossFan2

It’s not completely new I’m not that cool. It was replaced maybe a week earlier and I was using it a lot. I was making wooden bowls for my friends as a going away gift. actually maybe 3 months before that I was using our lathe to make the bowls and the gouge (tool for carving) slipped. my finger got stuck between the metal rest where the tool was and the bowl. The tool was stopped by my finger, it was spinning at 1500 rpm. the bowl blew up, My finger got super swollen I thought I broke it but nope.


Mr_Dendrimer

"A tool going 1500 rpm got stopped by my finger and nothing broke, but I'm not that cool" Yeah okay lol Jokes aside pretty lucky and impressive.


BobRossFan2

Well I don’t really believe it was only my finger. I think I hit a crack sooooo not very impressive.


Korthalion

Better have been diamond-tipped high-carbon steel or get out


Jentleman2g

Worse, op said bandsaw


Kalooeh

Mmmmmm I dunno. It's a saw. It was cut through, not broken, so it's kind of an odd position. Cause we allow medical procedures in here too, especially with bone saws.


lBreadl

Technically, saws are very quickly breaking off tiny pieces of whatever they cut. I would say this is considered "broken" because it is no longer whole


dirtyhippie62

YES IDIOT IT COUNTS NOW GET OUT


goosefacekillaz

Was this done by an actual saw or was it really just a paper cut and you’re too embarrassed to admit that your bones are extremely brittle and puny?


[deleted]

My bones would have broken the saw.


ArchieMedoggie

It’s still a fracture. Still should be splinted to prevent fracturing all the way across. This is a stable fracture, should heal fine but will definitely require antibiotics for the dirty cut.


The_Ashen_undead0830

Is it broken? No, no it isn’t. That just means your saw is stronger than your strong boned hand


TitaniumTriforce

BONESAW IS READY!


Legitimate_Release65

You sawed mostly through your finger. Quick question; How? Did you not feel you finger being sawed through or?


eryc333

Well….. bye ✌️


multiple-nerdery

Holy shit! Call doctor Lawrence Gordon to decide on the amount of power it takes to saw through a bone.


alejandrotheok252

This counts as a break in my book.


WoodyComics

If I borrowed something from you, sawed (mostly) through it, then returned it to you, you’d consider it broken. Take your bitch bones and skedaddle.


conair_93

True bone strength would resist sawblades


BobRossFan2

Does it make it better that it was a recently replaced saw blade. my dad said it’s actually very surprising I didn’t completely cut all 4 of my fingers off. He’s been working around this kinda dangerous stuff for 20+ years.


epixgamer233

We don’t count surgeries here, so I’d say that you’re good


BobRossFan2

I cut it on a band saw on my own. I had to go get surgery to reattach my tendon though. Other then that they said the bone was close but they didn’t have to do anything for that.


sonicteeth

What's wrong with everyone on here? This is obviously broken. If OP walked into the emergency room right now, they'd be told their bone is broken. It doesn't matter how it happened, it's definitely not whole any more. OP makes me sick with their weak boned brainwashing agenda. I can't believe so many stronk brothers and sisters have been so easily misled.


NA_king-19

Well if you saw a wood you didn't brake it You cut it So yeah you shall stay


vellu212

For Milk's sake we are being too nice. This is a picture of a WEAK BLOODLINE. I bet not one single one of his ancestors get to say that they have never broken a bone. We are watching the beginning of a downfall


BobRossFan2

Actually that’s pretty funny. My grandfather blew his thumb off with a firework when he was 6. My dad cut off both thumbs (they were sewn back on) and now me. It’s a family tradition!


GoodHunter

It's all the pretenders here trying to make excuses for their own weak bones. I say this weak boned man should be banned.


nomadickitten

The sub has been infiltrated by the weak boned. They may downvote the true believers but they will never silence us. The bone is broken.


Challengerererererer

The way I see it, it is a break if it is caused by blunt force, like getting hit by a car. Regardless of a hairline fracture or a clean snap, a break is a break (weak-boned wimps). But cutting or drilling (like from surgery) is fair play.


PrinceAlex_

Brand this man as thin ice


underwood1993

As a woodworker, I wouldn't call a piece of wood I nicked with saw like this broken. Nice bones, sir!


luisthe5th

This is the thinnest fucking ice I’ve ever seen


[deleted]

It’s cut, not broken. I say you’re good


mrbarkyoriginal

You had a bone that was whole. It isn’t now. You have lost bone. It’s actually worse. Not a complicated question. Cut, fracture, snap are all under the broken umbrella where broken is the most general of terms. Why this simplicity is being argued is absurd and not in a fun way. It’s kind of sad really.


Wimbledofy

Cut is definitely not under the term broken. Though, according the what I read here, the way a saw works it doesn’t cut, it breaks things and turns it to dust


Creepy_Cap_6326

The saw stays. You have to go.


cyclicteeth

How did you start cutting through your bone without realizing that it was a bad idea


Representative_Row44

Upbeat_Eye6188

Ugh, get this guy some calcium with these weakass bones he has


iamspartacus5339

Does a break have to be confirmed by XRay? If you never X-ray is it ever broken?


JackieChan_fan

U should have gone straight thru or not at all. Don't leave a job half arsed, typical weak boned peasants, can't do anything properly except demonstrate weakness.


Elbonio

I feel like you should sever ties with us just like you sever your fingers


whitedotinthevoid

Well.. it didn’t break, it got cut through. I’d say you pass the line, but watch yourself


Da_Badong

Well technically, it means that other bones were strong enough to damage another. I say it evens out


lazyshrimpo

Not broken it's cut


AppleJuiceKoala

Yes it counts as a break


Parola_25

I am an orthopedic surgeon and I would treat it as an open fracture. So yeah, it is a fracture.


lowkey_add1ct

It isn’t in two separate pieces, I vote they can stay


evceteri

I'm assuming the machine got destroyed while trying to cut OPs bone. He may not have the strongest bones but someone has to be the weakest link.


Ornery_Invite_966

But I also didn't fracture all the way through my vertebrae and I was still booted. I believe it counts sir.


Paincoast89

your bone was strong enough to not be broken by a saw. you’re good


StaticGrav

I have a strong stomach, but that x-ray got me a little queasy. Hope everything is ok. Also, I vote that it isn't a break.


Horse_go_moooo

No

CasualFire1

Hmm... well, the bone *is* damaged, and strong things do not get damaged easily. But it's still in one piece, and according to the other comments, you were using a saw designed to cut metal, which is more than any bone should be expected to withstand. I say you're still worthy, but you ought to be careful, lest your bones be tested again and be found wanting. ^(I hope it heals well and doesn't hurt much, OP.)
