Gruesome details of how Jeremy Renner's body reconstructed after horror accident
Jeremy Renner’s body is being held together by a large number of screws and plates after he suffered massive injuries when he was run over by a snowplough at the start of the year.
The 52-year-old Hollywood star was left with 30 broken bones when a six tonne snowcat rolled over him during a dramatic rescue attempt that ended in disaster.
Jeremy sustained massive injuries including a shattered right knee, broken jaw, and broken clavicle, as well as a punctured liver and a collapsed lung - and was also left with a condition known as ‘flail chest’.
Doctors surgically attached metal plates into his torso to stabilise his ribcage - and more plates were used to reconstruct a collapsed eye socket.
A metal rod was also added to his shin to help hold it together.
