The hip bone's connected to the... (NSFW Medical Images)

... nut sack. Amazing X-rays of a hip fracture from a motorcycle accident:



Ouch. Femoral head (the ball) of the hip broke off and wound up in the scrotum.

From the New England Journal of Medicine:

"A 33-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department after a motorcycle accident. Clinical examination of the intubated patient showed a hard, swollen, bluish scrotum and an externally rotated and slightly shortened left leg."

 

Lord have mercy. Not what I was expecting.

 

The bottom screw in image D looks like it's going all the way through the bone to the other side. Is that supposed to happen?

 

Thread title made me laugh. Very funny.

 

Moral of the story: Don't ride a fucking motorcycle.

My older brother got sideswiped by some dizzy bitch pulling out of a Sonic and was wheelchair-bound for two months with a pin in his femur. Scared my ass straight. Smallest thing I drive since is a four-wheeler.

 

Jumping Christ. I just saw the top image.

 

Talk about hardball. But at least he was wearing his helmet.
