Bone breaking is arguably one of the most cringe-worthy content out there. Whether it's caused by pure accident or human stupidity it's bound to make you wince.

Some of these will be recycled from my gym fails and sporting accident post

There are several types of bone breaks

Bone breaking recovery time generally ranges from 6-8 weeks or more (depending on the break and severeity). After the recovery period, you're able to resume activity as normal (possibly with short term splits or braces to keep everything proper). Bone breaks take around a year or more to completely heal while in the remodeling phase, depending the severity of the break this time may be extended. It is important to take into account that the injury may look healed on the outside, but on the inside your bones are still repairing themselves until completion.

During the healing and remodeling process, it starts with the inflammation stage which occurs hours-days after the break. After a few days-weeks, chondroblasts produce a soft callus of cartilage around the fracture, providing initial stability after the fraxrure/break. This is then replaced by a hard callus formed by osteoblasts, which gradually replaces the soft callus with woven bone over a few weeks. Eventually, the hard callus is remodeled over several months to years by osteoclasts and osteoblasts, replacing the woven bone with stronger lamellar bone, thereby restoring the bone's original shape and strength. Throughout this process, proper nutrition, appropriate weight-bearing activity, and physical therapy are reccomended to support optimal bone healing and remodeling.

Now enough with the nerd stuff let's get onto the good stuff

And a special mention to @weko997 for helping me find some of this conrent!

Gym Mishaps

Leg Work

don't lock your knees when using the leg press, this will happen

When lifting with these machines, it's important to keep your knees bent slightly to prevent an accident like this. The weight will force your legs backwards

keeping your legs too stiff

lifting too heavily causes open fracture

weighted pushups end in a broken finger

arm bends backwards after lifting

arm break after lift

Ruptures, Tears + Dislocations

Weights

pectoral tears

hamstring tears

double bicep tear

failed 400lb log press attempt causes bilateral patellar tendon rupture

Lifting too heavily/lifting beyond your abilities, using incorrect form, and stretching too deeply can cause your muscles to tear. In severe cases, surgery may be required which is followed by several long months of healing and rehabilitation (location dependent).

Depending on the severity, a ruptured Achilles tendon may require surgery to repair. With or without, rehab and physical therapy will be needed with up to 6 months or more of healing time

Sylacauga, Alabama, United States

August 21, 2023

A store clerk is dead after it was ruled that he accidentally shot himself while examining a gun earlier this week.

On Monday, a firefighter stopped by the Hop In Convenience Store to make a purchase and found the store clerk lying in a pool of blood behind the counter. Officers from the Sylacauga Police Department (SPD) responded at 12:45 p.m. to a call of a subject injured and possibly dead at the store on N Broadway Avenue and 10th Street.

Upon arrival, officers found 21-year-old Pankaj Pankaj lying on the floor with a handgun lying next to his body.

Sylacauga Investigator, Lt. Willis Whatley, responded to the scene and started the investigation into the death of Pankaj. During the investigation, store video was reviewed, and it was determined that Pankaj had accidentally shot himself in the head while looking at the firearm that was property of the store owner. The owner kept the gun behind the counter for self-protection.

Pankaj's death was ruled an accident by the coroner after he reviewed the video, too.

Pankaj was taken from the scene by Community Funeral Home to await the arrival of his family where they determined where his remains would be transported for burial.
