Ankle - broke it playing what’s now known as “tackle the guy with the football” during recess.

Thumb - broken during a takedown in my only career wrestling match. Held the other kid in a half Nelson for the rest of the time because I was in pain and didn’t want to do much. Won on points and retired undefeated.

Ring finger - fell over on my bike while avoiding a car. Handlebar came down on it and basically smashed the distal segment to pieces, and took most of the skin off.

All of my confirmed broken bones happened between 5th and 7th grades.

I’ve also probably broken a handful (footful? ) of toes that never got checked out.

Right arm - 3 times
Left arm - 2 times
Collarbone - left
Collarbone - right
Tibia / fibula
Nose
Fingers
Toes
Knee

Racing Motocross

Right ankle: sliding into home plate at a rec league baseball game when I was about 12, my cleat snagged the plate and rolled. Coach thought I was being a pussy, walked it off and played 3 more innings, he put me playing first base since I couldn't hardly move/walk. Thanks I guess.


Right Femur/shattered nose/cracked maxilla parallel to the gum line: brother and I ran into each other head-on on dirt bikes in blind curve, both hauling arse. Had one surgery to put a titanium rod & 3 bolts in my leg, then later another to repair my nose and put plates in my face to fix my jaw line. Also later found out I chipped a bone in my knee, it wedged/fused behind my knee and I only have about 75% flexibility in that knee. Brother ended up with a broken arm and a big gash on his head. Both air-medded to to the hospital. Helmets saved our lives that day.

Right Arm (radius and ulna, both broken in 2 places creating a sag) - Cartwheel in Kindergarten

Right Arm (radius and ulna again, single fracture) - Couple years later jumping ditch running from neighbors ornery giant white German Shepard

Nose - Pirogue flew up sideways and over console. Caught the rolled edge gunnel to the bridge of my nose. Luckily it was freezing outside for the 1hr boat ride and 1 hour truck ride to the Dr so it didn't bleed too bad. Those were some CRAZY clots when I got them out afterward.

Crushed a big toe when a small vice fell off a desk at work when I was in college. Almost blacked out from pain but worked the rest of the day. Did not know it was broken until my next break 25 years later.

Broke a foot stepping off a chair when it tumbled when I was in my forties. When they x-rayed this foot they noted the big toe had been broken before. That was when I realized what happened with the vice.
