Title: No bones about it, this is the easiest 13th Anniversary Contest yet!
Post by: Grant Lamontagne on July 25, 2019, 01:12:29 PM: This is a contest that could only take place at MTO! :D

This is a replica of the bones that make up a normal human foot:

(https://forum.multitool.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=82304.0;attach=443799;image)

There are 24 of them, and I have broken at least 6 that I know of. Your job is to guess which ones I have broken. You get one guess every 24 hours, and this contest is open until Monday, at which point the first dozen people that have correctly guessed a bone that I have broken will win a limited edition Multitool.org sticker!

I want the proper, medical term for it too, not just "third toe from the left" or similar, so you may need to Google feet and bones, but I suggest that you do so with Safe Search on, or else it could get a little weird. :facepalm:

There you have it- one in four chance of winning every 24 hours- can it get any easier than that? :D

Post by: Ron Who on July 25, 2019, 01:17:54 PM: Your ankle bone (talus) ? And probably some metatarsalia.

Post by: fred2892 on July 25, 2019, 01:39:05 PM: Fifth metatarsal. (Only one I remember as that’s the most recent one I broke)

Fibula ?

That´s not a part of the foot Glen.

Even if Grant probably did break his fibula.

Well it worked. They were removed three months later when the bone had healed.
Real surgical steel. I still have them somewhere.

Post by: Huntsman on July 26, 2019, 11:08:33 PM: I'll say talus

As it's the only ankle bone I know

Why? ....... I once had a sub-talar dislocation of my foot (compound) which apparently is very very unusual

But I think it would not be a common one to break as it is a solid block of bone in the middle of the ankle at the bottom of the tibia - The longer toe bones are much more likely to break!

I must admit my statement was based on absolutely zero medical (or other) knowledge
Anyway inspired by this contest - I looked up the talus on Wiki a few days ago - And discovered that the talus is quite commonly broken :twak:
So much for my medical knowledge !! :o

Thanks Grant for the GAW :tu:

I believe that I have broken toes, but as they are officially un-diagnosed I didn't feel it was safe to count them. These are just the bones I have actual documentation for. :D

If we went for all the bones I have broken overall, the list would be somewhat longer, but the ribs and metacarpals probably make the list a bit too long.
