or does it?
The question is simple: If you have ever broken/sprained your arm/wrist/elbow/finger was it your dominant hand?
I’ll start. I broke my right arm while roller skating. Yes, that was my dominant hand.
Not in my case. My right hand smashed a car’s windscreen when I got hit by said car. Put my hand out of action for weeks. Friends at college called me an idiot for saying “Yeah I can work, I’m left handed”
Yep, but it was because a car hit my bike - not because of anything I was doing, or not doing, at the time. I fell into the street onto my left (dominant) hand, and one of the smaller wrist bones drove into one of the major forearm bones. (Can’t remember which ones now; I was 14 at the time.)
I broke my right arm (dominant hand) twice. Fell on it both times.
I’ve broken both arms. The left (non-dominant) was much worse.
I am left handed.
I was asleep one night, apparently having some kind of falling dream and flung my arms out. This overbalanced me and I went tumbling out of bed-- onto my left arm. Breaking my left wrist in 3 places. Part of it broke and crunched into the bone it used to be attached to. Needless to say I woke up inventing new words not to say. A trip to the Er to xray, a time asleep to add pins and an external fixator to correct the whole mess and then a trip home with happy drugs to dull the whole experience.
I think I drank too much milk as a kid, I’m 34 and have yet to break a bone despite numerous Jack Tripperesque pratfalls.
However, I’m scheduled to have some bone spurs (see! damn milk!) removed next week from my left shoulder and I’m right-handed. My surgeon was actually surprised because of the dominance factor, it’s unusual according to him.
When I fall, my right hand/arm (the dominant one) always seems to take more of the impact than my left. Maybe it’s just faster in breaking the fall than the other one or something.
I sprained my left wrist, I’m ambidextrous, but use my right hand for writing, so I suppose it’s my nominally dominant hand.
Damn, Zabali, I’d give my right arm to be ambidextrous.
Broke my right arm – which is dominant.
Broke a finger on my left hand. I’m right handed. I was in a wreck where a car hit the left tire on my car. I was holding the steering wheel in a death grip and it managed to break a finger on my left hand.
Sprained my right (dominant) wrist. It was really a stroke of brilliance: Camping. Carrying a full 5-gallon (or something like that) jug of water back to the campsite. tried to take a shortcut up a very steep mud-coated hill. Fell. Sprain. Ow.
Still hurts sometimes too.
I broke my left (non-dominant) arm playing (touch) football during recess in 5th grade.
I also burned my right forearm/hand from splattering grease while working as a short-order cook my second year of college. That was almost worse then the break, mainly because I stayed for the rest of my 8-hour shift on the busiest weekend of the year trying to cook with one arm. No permanent damage (got really lucky there) just a 8-inch blister and about a month’s worth of healing. And a pretty cool-looking scar that’s mostly faded now.
Zoe, yeah except the school system gave my mom trouble. Told her they believed she’d “forced” me to be right handed, but that I was really left handed because I’d sometimes color with my left hand in Kindergarten, and it was as good or better than with my right hand. So, they made me go to sessions with a therapist who “trained” me to work with my left hand. (A blessing I guess.) Those left handed scissors with 3 holes HURT to use! I don’t know why they gave the idea up, but I went through school after a few months with the therapist, still writing with my right hand. Maybe she discovered I was ambi? 
All I know is, I was glad to be rid of those scissors!
I’m right-handed. Broke my right arm in the 3rd grade. I was running around in the backyard, tripped, and tried to break my fall with it. So it was probably related to hand dominance.
I’ve had a broken thumb (a sewer grate was dropped on it); a bent forearm (I fell out of a bunk bed; both the radius and ulna were broken) and a separated shoulder, which didn’t matter since the truck that hit me also broke my femur. All of these were on the left side, and I’m right handed.
If it helps, the lesser stuff was more evenly distributed. I was also held for observation after being dragged and kicked by a horse as a kid. The horse kicked me in the ribs. I think it was on my right side, but I can’t remember.
I sprained my left thumb once (only hand injury I’ve ever had) and I’m right handed.
I’m right handed and it’s the left that always gets the injuries. I work with my hands a lot. If you’re using a tool, oh, say a drill, it’ll be held in your dominant hand so the one that’ll get accidentally skewered is going to be the non-dominant hand that trying to hold the wood in place.
So my left hand has plenty of scars (mostly small knicks and stuff). Sprained wrists and stuff have been pretty evenly distributed. BUt if you count the number of ties I’ve had bandaids, needed stitches, or had other bandages or braces, most of the time it would have been on my left hand/wrist.
I broke my left wrist tagging a guy out with my glove hand while playing baseball. You wear your glove on your non-dominant hand. I broke my non-dominant wrist.
I am right handed and playing rugby as a teen broke my left thumb, several bones in my left wrist (In one injury) and my right clavicle.
