A '''Career-Ending Injury''' is a sudden and unexpected injury or illness that causes a disability to a person and forces them to give up their ambitions and dreams. |

Usually this trope involves an athlete getting an injury, but the career can be anything that requires physical and/or mental ability. Likewise, what causes the disability can be something other than an injury (for example, a disease) -- the important point is that it prevents the character from achieving their goals by causing a disability. |
