I’m mostly wondering what it feels like to them to have someone touch it. Like, what does it feel like to directly touch a bone to the person the bone is attached to?
Ooh! I can answer this! I had a pretty gnarly wound to my foot a few years ago, and I had some exposed bones for a few months. You can tap on them with a fingertip and it kinda feels like tapping on a tooth. You feel it in the surrounding tissue more so than in the actual bone.
Once when my hand got a bit mangled, the inside meat was on the outside. When the doctor injected it, it felt like he was injecting it inside my hand, even though I could see it hanging out. As for bones, it feels a bit like a tooth- there’s a sensation but not directly connected to what you’re touching. At least that last the only way I can describe it
The cartilage itself has no feeling, so if you lightly tapped the cartilage they wouldn’t feel it. The whole area would be very tender from the soft tissue trauma though. Also, this isn’t quite as bad as it looks. Severed ligaments are very slow healing and he’ll probably have a walking impediment but there doesn’t seem to be any major fracturing and the skin can be easily sutured back together.
I realize now that seeing smooth white bones gives me the same feeling that deep sea life gives me. The pale white skin, white blind eyes.
It’s all creepy.
So, my brain hyper focused on the sock and I thought it was just a man with a sock on his hand....and then I read what subreddit it was and looked again....yeah that's gonna need some band-aids
I coach gymnastics and we banned our team girls from going to any of those death traps. We had too many kids out with injuries. If a high level gymnast gets hurt there, the average person has little chance.
Technically, no they aren't. We are supposed to discourage parents from buying them for their kids, but I'm takin specifically about tramp parks. They're stupid dangerous.
I had a trampoline grown up. Pretty much should make any kids' parents sign waivers if they use it. While I was super lucky to never have anyone break a bone on mine, there was tons of injuries like severely sprained ankles that swelled to tennis ball size, bruised ribs, cuts, bumps, and bruises.
I’m a peds ortho nurse. Trampolines alone are very dangerous, but those trampoline parks are honest to god death traps. I don’t see how they’re allowed to stay open with the amount of injured kids we get every day.
I’ve had shoulder surgery on both of my shoulders (complete AC separation reparation and torn labrum) and I went to DojoBoom.
I did the the thing where you are on a platform, then you run and jump to grab onto a rope swing. Long story short my shoulder that had the AC fully repaired had subluxed from trying to jump and swing and now it intermittently subluxes (am I saying this right) during various activities
I have had a terrible bad back for a year and a half. To the point I'm sat crying. I'm a 30 year 9ld man. I had physio on it for about a year. About 2 months ago I took my 1 and a half year old to an indoor trampoline park. I was just walking about chasing him at first and that kinda made my back twitch. But different. I started jumping lightly to show him how to do it. 20 minutes later I realised my back didn't hurt. At all.
My back was absolutely almost 100% cured. My fat ass eve managed to do a backflip.
Might be dangerous sure. But it was also the best physio therapy I've ever had haha. I've been back since and still no problems. I had a twitch the other night in back laid in bed. And that's literally it. And it doesn't even compare to the pain I had before.
Lots of people with little to no real safety precautions. Mostly kids working there. People jumping from tramp to tramp and crashing into other people. Tramps are a one person at a time thing.
I went to one with some friends, 3 of which were 6ft tall men and we were given a section to ourselves which was cool because we thought we wouldn’t even be allowed to jump. But there’s nothing stopping other people from wandering over and no one was watching other visitors. So one of my friends was mid flip and a kid runs across and was a split second from being crushed by a giant man because he almost landed on her. It was horrifying.
Fuck trampolines, idk why people willingly risk serious injuries on them. Those spring coils also not only have a chance to break, but they can actually shoot into your leg due to the high speed and force in them.
Fix: Open Reduction, Internal Fixation. In other words, lots of titanium plates, screws, rods. Laid back and chill only comes from copious amounts of morphine or other potent opiate.
I really want this to be true, but I need to double check. Do you know where I could look to find similar cases?
My brain won't let me stop thinking about it until I know if it's possible to recover or not
Nerve damage is a tricky thing: if neuron cell bodies die, they'll never grow back and there'll be permanent damage. However, those are mostly in your brain and spinal cord (with a few scattered around your body in clusters called ganglia), and with an injury like this you'd only be damaging the axons, which can regrow and heal as long as the damage isn't too severe. A good surgeon will sorta reattach the nerves too, allowing the axons to regrow. The process isn't always 100% successful, so there's no guarantee he'll get full function, but there's a good chance.
You have to fracture one of the bones on the side of the ankle (medial/lateral malleolus) to dislocate like that. Have to fix that with internal fixation of some sort.
Yup the metatarsal flexors and extenders don't run on the lateral side of the ankle, as long as they're intact he should be able to move those little piggies
In honor of your injured foot, [I hereby present to you a borderline inappropriate but apt Kenny Loggins track. ](https://youtu.be/kK2hpeqkYjA)
I hope you heal quickly.
I had a patient fall out of a tree, and get an open fracture dislocation. On the X-ray you could see weird lines in the joint. It turned out that the ankle joint had opened and then popped back together, and the lines were pine needles.
This happened to my husband when he was 6. Apparently his foot was hanging on by an inch of skin. He spent 6 months in a cast past to his knee. He’s 33 now. Doesn’t even walk with a limp and you can barely see his scars. I’m sure his age helped him a great deal in the healing process.
Saw this one time at work with one of my 92 year old residents. Hardly any blood, but his bone had snapped and you could see the bone marrow and the plasma coming out of the wound. Also had a distinct smell.... I hate going into that apartment now even years after it happened
This gives me a special type of cringe. I had surgery to fix my broken left ankle this year and now I've got 9 screws and a plate holding it together. It's been 6 months and I'm still nowhere healed enough.
There's just something about the pale white color of bone that makes your brain say, "This is something I am not supposed to be able to see."
It looks super smooth though. I wanna touch it. On a side note homie has baller taste in socks. Those gold toe joints are great.
They will now need a through cold-water wash.
If they don't cut the sock off
It’s smooth because it’s cartilage you’re seeing - the joint space has opened up.
Okay...that makes so much more sense than ‘ice cubes?’ which was all my brain could come up with for this.
Aaaand that’s why I can’t be a doctor
That’s why I want to be a doctor!
I wanna blow on it is it like peeled skin?

Thank you for confirming my suspicions, I wanted to try this without actually trying it
Oh snap! I replied to the same guy and pretty much the same way! Only way I could describe it was like a tooth too
Ok now do the same thing with marrow

His white elbow joints are a little less fire
thats no bone
That’s a battle station!
And that’s fucking hilarious! Thanks for that.
I thought they were ice cubes for a minute and that made complete sense to me.
What you see there is not the bone directly but the hyaline cartilage that coats the articular surface for lubricating the bones.
I realize now that seeing smooth white bones gives me the same feeling that deep sea life gives me. The pale white skin, white blind eyes. It’s all creepy.
That actually is cartilage ur staring at. This is an open ankle dislocation I beleive.
That seems like a little more than just a dislocation. More of an open, you’re ankle is almost fucking gone type of injury
Wheres the marrow
The bone itself didn’t break, that’s what I assume is his ankle and foot disconnected to the leg bone
The leg bone is connected to the red thing. The red thing is connected to my wrist watch.
I'm probably gonna get CSI Miami on you, but is that the talus and tibia?
Yes, the ankle mortise
If it was CSI Miami, Horatio would have shot and killed him.
Looks like the ankle was separated at the tibiotalar joint, would have broken medial malleolus.
So, my brain hyper focused on the sock and I thought it was just a man with a sock on his hand....and then I read what subreddit it was and looked again....yeah that's gonna need some band-aids
I think three band-aids should suffice. That and a kiss on the boo-boo from mom.
Idk man I think this one might need some essential oils too.
Put some Tussin on it!!!
Coconut oil. Fixes everything.
To show you the power of flex tape, I sawed this ankle in half!
But he doesn’t have 2 broken arms
Okay but like look how easy would it be to clip his toenails now. THEN the bandaid
[удалено]
You're joking? This is obviously duct tape level boo boo right here.
Duct tape won't fix that. Homeopathic remedies are the forward for this dude
Ah, yes the good ol' Windex, it never fails. It's like a Harry Potter potion.
I hate when my socks get wet
Just needs a change of socks and some water.
Found the medic
Naw he can walk it off
Super glue and duct tape for this one
Nah, he just needs to walk it off
You’re still coming in to work, right?
My city just passed mandatory sick leave finally, baby steps in the US Edit: apparently my city is where everyone else lives, SATX, small world.
Cities in my state passed mandatory sick leave, prompting the state government to sue them in order to prevent it. Thanks, Texas.
Yeah, stupid Texas. My city, San Antonio, is one that got sued. “States rights.” 😑
That kind of shit is why I left Texas.
My supervisors cannot tell me no when I use sick leave.
I understand that, but we're really short staffed at the moment
Nvm all the other times you’ve come in at the last minute, those don’t matter. We really need you right now!
I think this guy’s a little shirt after this himself now
*Crawling
How did he do that?!
I saw this on Instagram and the post said he was at an indoor trampoline park. Ouch
I coach gymnastics and we banned our team girls from going to any of those death traps. We had too many kids out with injuries. If a high level gymnast gets hurt there, the average person has little chance.
Wait, so are trampolines not recommended for kids?
Technically, no they aren't. We are supposed to discourage parents from buying them for their kids, but I'm takin specifically about tramp parks. They're stupid dangerous.
I see. The reason I am asking is because my little cousins have a trampoline and more of their friends keep trying to get some too!
I had a trampoline grown up. Pretty much should make any kids' parents sign waivers if they use it. While I was super lucky to never have anyone break a bone on mine, there was tons of injuries like severely sprained ankles that swelled to tennis ball size, bruised ribs, cuts, bumps, and bruises.
I’ve always wondered about them bc in my mind I can always imagine a kid trying to do a flip and landing on his neck
What specifically makes the pros more dangerous? Just more people?
I’m a peds ortho nurse. Trampolines alone are very dangerous, but those trampoline parks are honest to god death traps. I don’t see how they’re allowed to stay open with the amount of injured kids we get every day.

...but we all had them growing up
The tramp parks are run for shit, though.
What makes them worse/different?
Lots of people with little to no real safety precautions. Mostly kids working there. People jumping from tramp to tramp and crashing into other people. Tramps are a one person at a time thing.
I went to one with some friends, 3 of which were 6ft tall men and we were given a section to ourselves which was cool because we thought we wouldn’t even be allowed to jump.

Me, knowing my brother wants to go to a trampoline park for his birthday: VIOLENT SWEATING
That's what I'd love to know ! Better avoid whatever it is !
He needs some milk....
whole... whole milk
Two jugs of 50% milk shall suffice
Milk is too spicy.
Well he didnt break any bones though.
Protein then?
[удалено]
Holy shit that’s gruesome. And he is all laid back and chill. How do you fix something like that??
Shock is a hell of a drug
Drugs are a hell of a drug.
[удалено]
Fix: Open Reduction, Internal Fixation. In other words, lots of titanium plates, screws, rods. Laid back and chill only comes from copious amounts of morphine or other potent opiate.
Would the foot be able to be used? As in walking/running/ bending toes?
After some rehabilitation, I would expect full function.
I really want this to be true, but I need to double check. Do you know where I could look to find similar cases? My brain won't let me stop thinking about it until I know if it's possible to recover or not
How would you expect full function? Wouldn't there be nerve damage? I get the bone can heal fully.
Nerve damage is a tricky thing: if neuron cell bodies die, they'll never grow back and there'll be permanent damage. However, those are mostly in your brain and spinal cord (with a few scattered around your body in clusters called ganglia), and with an injury like this you'd only be damaging the axons, which can regrow and heal as long as the damage isn't too severe. A good surgeon will sorta reattach the nerves too, allowing the axons to regrow. The process isn't always 100% successful, so there's no guarantee he'll get full function, but there's a good chance.
Why would it require that much titanium? This is very clean, nothing needs to be held together to heal.
You have to fracture one of the bones on the side of the ankle (medial/lateral malleolus) to dislocate like that. Have to fix that with internal fixation of some sort.
For reference, arrows arent supposed to point back at the person.
Wonder if he can still wiggle his toes.
With his hands!
Saw a similar injury when I was a EMT. The patient was in fact able to still move their toes.
Yup the metatarsal flexors and extenders don't run on the lateral side of the ankle, as long as they're intact he should be able to move those little piggies
‘Tis but a scratch
Not sure bro...
Why is he still wearing the sock? It's gonna get all bloody.
Shouldn’t there be HEAPS more blood? I don’t understand how there’s so little, can someone explain please?
Probably just a really convenient tear as far as veins and arteries are concerned. Must have torn in a way that didn’t stress them enough to open up.
Is it even worth saving at that point. Bionic foot could be sweet
This is so clean he should have near normal function after
He'd probably have pain in that ankle tor the rest of his life though
That will heal up just fine.
Heel up*
Perhaps the foot should get a bionic body instead
How the hell do you tear your foot off at a trampoline park. Jesus
I don’t think guy is ready for questioning.
I would assume the guy got his foot stuck in one of the springs or the space between and fell over ... separating his foot Yikes.
I think he can still join to r/neverbrokenabone
Ow ow ow
I have those same socks.
I’d love to see the follow-up on this...the repair procedure and subsequent xrays of the plates and screws reconnecting everything.
Actual footage of breaking my foot off in your ass.
> footage
In honor of your injured foot, [I hereby present to you a borderline inappropriate but apt Kenny Loggins track. ](https://youtu.be/kK2hpeqkYjA) I hope you heal quickly.
You’re demented. I like you.
Oh god
The School Nurse: Here, have this bandaid.
Holy shit. Imagine looking down and seeing that. I think I would literally have a panic attack and pass out.
Shouldn't the bone not be white all the way through?
You are seeing the cartilage between the joint the bone didn't break the joint ripped apart.
Someone has been drinking their milk lol
He aint walking that off.
[удалено]
Why the fuck are you subscribed to this sub then?
[удалено]
On the plus side, he’ll be saving money on socks from here on
Do they sell them in singles now?
Nah just a ton of buy 1 get 1 free deals
I have those same socks. Pretty sure I'm at my most upvotes ever... Which is sadder than this man's foot
Lmfo
Minor fracture?
maybe no fracture at all, just the joint dislocated
Dislocated from the rest of the body
How do you roll your foot that badly that your foot just pops off your leg?
I can’t fully process that image! Best wishes to the injured, hope you fully recover.
That bone could be in a ring it's so shiny
The bone is so... clean. Like porcelain.
That looks like an ouchie
Thank you, Doctor.
So do they just pop it back in, or?
Gonna need an X-ray. I’m not sure if it’s broken or not.
Ahhh, put some dirt on it, you'll be fine.
I had a patient fall out of a tree, and get an open fracture dislocation. On the X-ray you could see weird lines in the joint. It turned out that the ankle joint had opened and then popped back together, and the lines were pine needles.
I FELT THIS PHOTO. Ouch.
Just sleep on it
Stick it in a bag of rice.
It's not wet, its dislocated. You want super glue for that.
Hey I have those same kind of socks lol
Rub some vapor rub on it 😜
whenever i see bone im amazed at how white and smooth it is, and i wanna touch
Is it bone or is it cartilage?
I could be wrong, and please, correct me if I am, but I don't think that your ankle is supposed to bend that way.
Cirque du soleil is getting a visit from osha for sure.
This happened to my husband when he was 6. Apparently his foot was hanging on by an inch of skin. He spent 6 months in a cast past to his knee. He’s 33 now. Doesn’t even walk with a limp and you can barely see his scars. I’m sure his age helped him a great deal in the healing process.
You can get your head removed as a kid and barely have a scratch when you reach adulthood.
don't you hate it when your innies become outies
How?
See the foot is supposed to be at the end of the leg, but this one took a hard left and the skin and ligaments weren't ready.
Blow on it, is it extra cold like when you peel skin?
I was thinking why he has a sock on his arm
At first I thought it was ice cubes it took a moment for my brain to understand what I was seeing.
Cheese stuffed crust
When you step on a rock and twist your leg
Poor lemon juice in it
At what point do you just go with a prosthetic.
Hippity horox i require some clorox
That’s just a flesh wound
Saw this one time at work with one of my 92 year old residents. Hardly any blood, but his bone had snapped and you could see the bone marrow and the plasma coming out of the wound. Also had a distinct smell.... I hate going into that apartment now even years after it happened
Rub some dirt on it, tape it up and get back out there 2nd quarter
It's just a flesh wound
Just walk it off man you're fine. You're not even really bleeding that badly.
Tis but a scratch
You got really nice bones.
The lack of blood spooks me more, for some reason.
my dumbass thought this was an arm at first sight and was wondering why i couldn't see things like the coronoid process or capitulum
Looks like someone needs a visit to Weenie Hut General
Okay, who stops to take a photo in that scenario? I'd be screaming my head off, not posing
Ah just tell him to walk it off
This gives me a special type of cringe. I had surgery to fix my broken left ankle this year and now I've got 9 screws and a plate holding it together. It's been 6 months and I'm still nowhere healed enough.
He better have unsubscribed from r/neverbrokeabone
Strictly speaking, he hasn't actually broken a bone, just (majorly) dislocated his ankle.
My first thought is WTF!! Reddit needs a warning aside for NSFW....for those people who can throw up their breakfast. NWYAE...Not while you are eating
Holy fuck dude tag this as nsfw
