Once you have an moderate /severe injury and it āhealsā, you are never quite the same again, especially if it requires medical intervention to fix it. Plating, pinning, external fixation, grafts, ligamental tearsā¦never the same and thereās always some sort of pain which tends to get worse with age! Now if itās an accident, then it cannot have been avoided, but if you have put yourself in the line of unreasonable risk (the definition of which varies from person-to-person) then in tuo capite fiat!
