I'll be honest and say that I have never heard of that kind of abnormality, but whoever did the procedure did a very good job. The only surgeries I have had is on my foot and shoulder. I've had my ribs reset after being bucked off a horse, but thats about it. The scary thing is, I'm only seventeen years into my life! :(

your in good shape compared to skipro.

Im 20 i haven't broken a bone or been admitted to the hospital. My worst injury so far is rolling my ankle.
 
I only go to the hospital if I am dying, and as such only have 4 scars from my surgery.

I got my surgery scars from Acute Appendicitis. On the third day of pretty intense abdominal pain I drove myself to the hospital and collapsed in the ER. I was in shock due to the sepsis in my intestines. The hospital staff thought I was faking and let me lay on the floor for 2 hours before a doctor came to get me. They then rushed the surgery when they realized I wasn't breathing well, performed a laproscopy when it really wasn't appropriate to do so, and ended up collapsing my left lung. (YAY for US healthcare!) In case you are wondering, a collapsed lung really, really sucks.

*and yes....any abdominal surgery does entail shaving EVERYTHING :eek:

The next is a triple Grade III sprain front a perfectly executed front flip off a trampoline. Due to the fact that it was a perfect landing, I managed to tear three ligaments in the ankle. Had my ankle rolled, it would have been less severe. They wanted to surgiate, but I had enough fun with my first surgery. It healed up fine, BTW.

The last is a picture of a compression gash to the bone. I had a 40 pound bag of pool filter sand over each shoulder and slipped on some aquarium water on the stairs. My nurse girlfriend at the time suggested stitches, but you know how I feel about hospitals.
