an ex friend of mine had a massive amount of surgery on his foot a one point, back in high school he had used a oak tree to fold a delta 88 up around him, resulting in a hell of alot of broken bones
i was around for what was i THINK his 3rd reconstructive surgery, in which they had to rebreak a number of bones, grind down some others, relocate some stuff ect. His xray looked like it was of a pin cushion, something like 18 titanium rods were put into his leg and foot.
about 1/2 of them eventually were removed, mostly the small ones from his foot. it was weird seeing his little “trophy bag” of pins afterwards, some still had some meat stuck to them.
