A Career-Ending Injury is a sudden and unexpected injury or illness that causes disability to a person and forces them to give up their occupation and/or 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 reducing their body's capability.
A variation is where a previously known condition or illness worsens unexpectedly to a point where the character is no longer fit for his/her career. With a character known for being injury-prone or just too stubborn to know when to quit, this injury may represent the writing on the wall.
Sometimes the injury is part of the backstory, but if it happens during the course of the main story, expect Angst.
Very much Truth in Television. In circles such as the police or the military, this is sometimes sardonically called "earning a desk job". With sports where knee collisions are a regular occurrence, the injury might be so bad that standing up (after it healed) without a cane is impossible.
The injury may have started as a Game-Breaking Injury. Compare White-Dwarf Starlet and I Coulda Been a Contender!, common results of this trope, Dream-Crushing Handicap, where the character is disabled to start with instead of becoming so during their career, and Crippling the Competition, where this trope is invoked. If the character overcomes the injury, either temporarily or permanently, then they're Back in the Saddle. If the injury isn't just career-ending but life-ending, then it's an example of Fatal Method Acting. May result in the character taking on a Post-Injury Desk Job.
Conversely, the Deaf Composer doesn't let a little thing like being physically unable to practice their career stop them from doing it.
This is sometimes set up as a twist or reveal, so beware of spoilers.

John Watson in Sherlock has been invalided home from Afghanistan due to an injury he sustained there, which left him with a limp. Pychosomatic, it turns out, as the injury was actually to his shoulder. His return to England and subsequent need for a flatshare kicks off his first meeting with Sherlock and the rest of the series.

Narrowly averted by Yngwie Malmsteen after he managed to crash his car into a tree, resulting in him spending almost a week in a coma and doctors believing that he would lose all feeling in his right arm. While the latter fortunately didn't end up happening, the experience combined with his mother dying from cancer around the same time almost made him give up on music. And his following album (Odyssey) had a much more somber tone than his prior works.

In Unbreakable, the titular character had an injury in college that made it impossible for him to continue playing football, which he brings up to refute the claims that he is somehow invulnerable to harm or has superpowers. As the movie goes on, he remembers that he actually faked the injury, since he knew that college athletes often burn out or can't make it in the pros, and he wanted an excuse to get out anyway, since his burgeoning romantic interest (and future wife) was studying to be a nurse and put off by the violence of his sport. He told the lie so often that he had forgotten the truth himself.

The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte: Endo used to be on the baseball team, but an injury to his shoulder put an end to any dreams of going pro (which were unlikely to begin with, seeing that he was "barely average" in his own words). Shortly after, he met Kobayashi who encouraged him to join the broadcasting club, suggesting that maybe he could become a sports commentator instead.

In Tokyo Ghoul, losing a limb in battle is pretty much the end of an Investigator's career. It's mentioned that the veterans' old commander Iba was forced to retire after losing his arm in battle with the Owl. A decade later, Kuroiwa suffers the same fate. However, the sequel reveals that this was averted by Juuzou — though he lost his right leg in the final battle, he's still going strong thanks to a fancy prosthetic leg.

Monster Hunter: A number of supporting characters are revealed to have been famed hunters, but had to retire due to grave incidents that occured to them while hunting certain monsters. The Legendary Gunner who lives in Kokoto Village in Monster Hunter (2004) was forced to retire due to a leg injury (though he doesn't specify what caused it). The Shipwright from Jumbo in Monster Hunter 2 (dos) lost his right leg and earned a wicked scar along his left arm in a Plesioth hunt gone wrong. The Village Chief of Moga in Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) reveals in the expansion 3 Ultimate that an Ivory Lagiacrus he needed to hunt put an end to his career, and he tells this to the protagonist when they're asked to hunt a specimen of that monster. The Ace Commander whom you meet in Monster Hunter 4 reveals in the expanded story for 4 Ultimate that his carelessness while hunting a Rathian led to an intruding Elder Dragon (Kushala Daora) cause a permanent injury to his mentor, the Master of Defense. Finally, High Rank Hunter Ayame from Kamura Village in Monster Hunter: Rise saw her leg become badly injured on a hunt and she has been unable to fight since, though it's subverted as she realizes that, while her body might never again be what it was before, that doesn't mean she can't fight anymore, and takes on various rehabilitation measures in Kamura.

Glass Mask has this as Chigusa Tsukikage's background, plus a flashback to it is the starting point of the OAV'. Twenty-odd years ago, Tsukikage was performing her prized Crimson Goddess play but a stage spotlight snapped and fell on her midway through it. It resulted in badly burning/injuring half of her face, to the point that she stopped stage-acting and switched to teaching; it also kickstarted her obsession to find the perfect actress to give her the Crimson Goddess role, which was specifically written for her by her long-lost lover Ichiren Osaki.

Jesse Stone was drafted by the Dodgers and sent to their AAA team (one step below Major League), but hurt his shoulder during a play, and went to work for the police instead, as his strength in the game was throwing. Even when just playing in the local softball game, it still aches years later, and he can tell he has nowhere near the velocity he used to have.

In November 9, Fallon's severe burn injuries put the brakes on her once promising acting career; due to Hollywood Beauty Standards, she struggles to get roles because of her obvious, difficult-to-cover burn scars. Fallon is pretty despondent about it, given she had dreamt of being an actor since childhood and worked hard at developing her acting skills, only to be rejected for something completely out of her control and unrelated to her acting ability. At the beginning of the novel, she's moving to New York partly because she thinks she might have better luck getting roles on Broadway. From what we can tell, Fallon's acting career never really pans out, though she does find success and contentment as an acting coach.

White Collar's Peter Burke was a professional baseball player when he tore his rotator cuff. The injury healed just fine and he was able to play baseball again, though a doctor advised him he could re-injure. Rather than risk losing both his baseball career and the possibility of joining the FBI, Peter opted to quit baseball and simply join the FBI.

Paige had to retire from in-ring competition at only 25 because of neck injuries. That, on top of the wear and tear of wrestling as young as 13. However, she returned to the ring as Saraya (her real first name) in September 2022, nearly 5 years later.

In one episode of The Simpsons, Bart discovers he has a talent for the drums. Lisa, jealous of him finding the one thing he's good at, starts hoarding wild animals which culminates in a tiger maiming Bart's hand. They manage to raise enough money for a surgery to fix it, but Marge emotionally blackmails him into sacrificing the money and his talent for Lisa's sake, and Bart never plays the drums again.

This happens to anyone in later Fire Emblem games that has their HP reduced to 0 but is too critical to the plot (read: must appear in cutscenes) to be removed (and doesn't cause a Game Over when defeated, as happens to the main characters.) Everyone else is subject to Permadeath (unless the player is on Casual Mode instead). Some games that adhere to this idea go a step further and subject such characters to a Deadly Distant Finale; the characters can still appear in cutscenes despite being unavailable for use, but their epilogues state that they die soon after the resolution of the conflict because of their wounds.

RWBY: Maria Calavera was a famously skilled Huntress in her youth, but retired after losing both her eyes in a fight. The thing is, it wasn't the loss of her eyes itself that made her retire (Remnant has pretty advanced cybernetics), but the emotional trauma she went through, especially fear that someone would realize she was a Silver Eyed warrior again, and finish the job this time. In her old age, she considers herself a coward and failure for giving up on the Huntress life instead of fulfilling her responsibilities.

Big E. Langston broke his neck as the result of a botched suplex in March 2022, and while he soon recovered and hasn't suffered any apparent nerve or strength damage (he didn't even require surgery after the injury), he's remained out of the action on advice from several doctors who informed him that another, similar injury could kill him on the spot. He remains a part of WWE and periodically makes non-wrestling appearances as a panelist, but as of 2024, he has yet to return to the ring, with Big E. remaining understandably ambivalent over such a decision.

It has her set to go to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns with her childhood friends before losing her horn to an Ursa Minor (and thus being rendered unable to cast spells normally).note The movie focused exclusively on her friends abandoning her after the incident, heavily implying that her obsession with getting her horn fixed was more about being normal for the sake of being normal than doing anything magic-related with her life.

Ironically, Kill Bill, the film that gave Uma Thurman her short-lived Career Resurrection, also prevented her from having the long-term career as an Action Hero that seemed to await her after its success. During production, she suffered a bad neck injury while performing a stunt that director Quentin Tarantino pressured her to do herself with No Stunt Double, despite having voiced her reservations beforehand about the unsafe conditions. Not only did the incident do lasting damage to the working relationship between Thurman and Tarantino (it would be over a decade before they reconciled), but the injury gave her chronic neck pain that she has struggled with ever since, preventing her from taking on the kind of action-heavy roles that Kill Bill demonstrated she was gifted at.

Discussed in Combating Unfairness: Izuku brings this up as one of the reasons why Aizawa's habit of temporarily expelling students in an attempt to Scare 'Em Straight is a huge problem — even after being re-enrolled, the black marks remain on their records. So if any of them were ever injured on the job and had to stop being Pro Heroes, those black marks would make it extremely difficult for them to find other lines of work, due to their society's unforgiving attitude towards high school expulsions.

In Run with the Wind, the skilled runner Haiji is still suffering a knee injury that he got in high school (implied to have been caused by intense training and improper maintenance). The injury is frequently in the way of his activities with the Kansei University track team, who are working hard in hopes of running at the prestigious Hakone Ekiden. The team successfully qualifies and Haiji is able to run there thanks to painkillers and sheer will—however, the physical strains are too much for his leg, and after completing his race at Hakone he's no longer able to run. In the epilogue he's noted to have a slight limp on his injured leg, suggesting not even walking normally is something he can do anymore.

In Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops this is given as the backstory for Lieutenant Cunningham of FOX, a CIA-sponsored black ops organization, as he used to be a soldier during Vietnam but suffered an injury to his leg that required it to be amputated thus ending his career. During the story, he expresses resentment towards the CIA for giving him a desk job after his injury when he used to be a distinguished warrior. A common theme in the overall story of the Metal Gear games is that soldiers are mistreated by their governments, Cunningham being downsized is viewed as another example of this ideal.

In The Breakfast Club, Andy wishes this would happen to him, as he only joined the high school's wrestling team because his dad pushed him into it and he's sick of having to live up to his father's expectations.

Ballistic of Cyberforce was the ace pitcher of her state champion high school baseball team (yes, playing with and against boys). She was likely bound for the big leagues until an abusive boyfriend left her with a paralyzed throwing arm.

One Elseworlds story called Flashpoint (1999) (Not to be confused with the Crisis Crossover of the same name) centers around Flash taking the bullet for JFK, an act that causes him to be paralyzed from the neck down. This, of course, ends his career as the Scarlet Speedster.

Though he didn't make a career out of it, the protagonist of Missing Stars used to love being active and hiking. However, an accident left him unable to use one of his legs. There's no physical problem with it. Erik's post-traumatic stress causes psychosomatic numbness and pain in his leg. He transferred to a boarding school for teens with mental illnesses in order to improve his mental health.

An arc in Elementary revolves around Sherlock attempting to avert this. After being diagnosed with Post-concussion syndrome, his health starts taking a turn for the worse. He worries that he'll lose his ability to be a detective, which would subsequently leave him losing his reason for sobriety. The rest of the arc deals with his health issues and his attempts to avoid his illness becoming this trope.

Bret Hart suffered a concussion so severe that any significant blow to the head would give him another concussion. Two years after he retired due to this injury, he suffered a stroke as a consequence of that injury. The cumulative damage from all of these cranial ailments means he cannot safely lift weights or board airplanes, let alone perform in a professional wrestling ring. He made a comeback of sorts in 2010, defeating Vince McMahon at WrestleMania and even winning the U.S. Title from The Miz in "matches" that were mostly smoke and mirrors.

Rhythm Doctor: Max "Lucky" Jonronero, the focus of Act 5, is a famous baseball player who had to be hospitalized after injuring his rotator cuff, which happened right at the peak of his career. It's a downplayed case as a full recovery is possible, but it will take months of physical therapy for him to return to full capacity, and being off the field for so long would kill his career's momentum. This makes Lucky desperate for a miracle cure, but he changes his mind after training the other hospital patients, turning them into a respectable amateur baseball team, and realizing that coaching is just as satisfying as being the star player.

In 1991 while shooting Doc Hollywood, Michael J. Fox started showing symptoms of early-onset Parkinson's disease when he was just 29 years old and would be properly diagnosed with the illness soon after. By 1998, the year he went public with his diagnosis, the disease had left him debilitated and stalled his career, forcing him to leave his starring role on Spin City, with most of his roles since being either in voice acting (most notably the voices of Stuart Little and Milo Thatch in Atlantis: The Lost Empire) or characters with Written-In Infirmities.

Invoked in Risk It All by Ren's Soul-Crushing Strike skill, a punch with explosive force that bypasses attempts to guard against it. Its name is apparently derived from how it crushed the dreams of many a martial artist by ruining them. When going out as a vigilante, this attack leaves multiple members of the mob crippled for life, something that makes Ren uncomfortable.

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, all guards share a pool of random sentences, which any of them can say. One of those is the page quote, making it sound like this is the backstory for every single guard. An alternate line spoken by a Stormcloak soldier is that he took a sword to the chest which forced an end to his adventuring career. Parodied in the Dragonborn DLC, where a Khajiit NPC will mention he also used to be an adventurer...until he found a ball of yarn.

The Four Horsemen Universe: The Winged Hussars have a Tortantula-Flatar pair, Oort and Jeejee, among their Space Marines. Jeejee explains to Hussars Commander Alexis Cromwell that Oort lost part of a leg on a contract. It's not crippling (they have eight of them) but no Tortantula merc unit will hire a maimed one (probably because Tortantulas are Explosive Breeders and there's, therefore, no market pressure). Jeejee ran across her on a station afterward and kept her from getting into the wrong prize-fighting ring; they joined the Hussars later.

Arcane Sniper kicks off the story with one and serves as the main motivation. Friendly Sniper Ha Leeha gets into an accident when a box of ammunition explodes while he was handling it, damaging his legs' nerves, which gets him discharged and wheelchair bound, nuking his career and dreams from orbit. There is a surgery that will give him the ability to walk again, but the price for it is ridculous. He falls into depression and is only knocked out of it when his cousin gifts him a VR capsule to play the viral MMO Middle Earth, while revealing he can make money through playing it. So, Leeha logs in to make enough bank to pay for the surgery.

This is revealed as the back story reason for why Jack Krauser faked his death and defected to Wesker's side in Resident Evil The Dark Side Chronicles. Krauser used to be a special ops soldier who worked alongside Leon but during the course of the mission, a viral entity crippled his arm. Krauser eventually sought out Wesker, who provided a way to heal his arm; out of gratitude, Krauser turned to serve Wesker as his special agent and even got a shapeshifting arm blade/shield out of the deal.

In the Vorkosigan Saga Miles Vorkosigan's career as a covert agent for the Barrayaran Empire is (seemingly temporarily) de-railed in Mirror Dance by a (temporary) case of death, courtesy of "a well-aimed needle grenade" to the chest. But in the next book of the series, Memory, it turns out that the complications of that needle grenade really did kill off Miles' cover identity, the dashing space mercenary Admiral Naismith: Miles is (forcibly) medically retired, and his life goes in a new and different direction for the rest of the saga.

In Sweet Diamond Dust's short story, “The Strange Death of Captain Candelario�, Pedro's athletic aspirations end when the Missionaries, the local police force, raid Villa Cañona (the slum where he lives) and beat him so roughly he is left with a limp. Irónica, he ends up joining them.

In EVA Sessions: Someplace Vast and Dry, Misato is critically wounded while serving in a JSSDF anti-Other and peacekeeping operation in Indonesia, and because she now requires artificial organs to live, she is no longer fit for front-line duty. Gendo arranges for her to instead transfer to NERV as Operations Director, her canonical role in the original series.

HuGtto! Pretty Cure:
Homare used to be an up-and-coming figure skater with a lot of potential, but a failed jump resulted in an injury that ended her career. Her injury has since healed, but she's still traumatized by it and has distanced herself from anything to do with figure skating. After becoming Cure Étoile, she returns to skating and eventually gets a gold medal in her comeback performance.
Henri's leg condition is foreshadowed to end his career as an ice skater. Ultimately Zig-Zagged when his leg is broken due to an unrelated car accident. Then he gets a Disability-Negating Superpower and performs one final skating performance. However the superpower doesn't last and he is seen in a wheelchair after that.

This plays a major role in Eda's backstory in The Owl House. Her father used to be the greatest palisman carver on the Boiling Isles, but one night during a family party she slashed out one of his eyes and mangled one of his hands bad enough to cause nerve damage when he accidentally triggered her owl beast curse with a party popper. She felt so guilt-ridden over this that she ran away from home soon afterwards and did everything she could to avoid seeing him for the next 30 years.

Kenji Shibata, who played Daimon Tatsumi in Kyūkyū Sentai GoGoV was diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor near the end of the series' filming, forcing him to undertake five different surgeries. Although he appeared healthy in return performances as Daimon following the end of GoGoV, Shibata's condition steadily deteriorated, which heavily affected his motor skills and ability to perform. He retired from showbusiness in 2007 due to ill health, now requiring a cane to walk.

George "Ginger" Stott from The Hampdenshire Wonder was a cricket player who enjoyed two years of incredible success before he cut his finger on the seam of a ball. The cut became infected, and Ginger didn't see a doctor until it was too late and the finger had to be amputated. Ginger decided to get married as quickly as possible in order to have a son he could raise into a great cricket player, although once Victor was born it quickly became apparent that that wouldn't happen.

CLANNAD:
One of the major reasons for the rift between Tomoya and his father is the fact that after an argument between them turned physical, Tomoya suffered an injury that leaves him unable to lift his right arm higher than his shoulder. This left him unable to play basketball effectively, one of his greatest hobbies. Tomoya's father appears to be deeply remorseful about this, but has no clue how to try to approach his son afterward.
Kappei is introduced as a guy that loves running. Though he isn't on an actual team, running brings him the greatest enjoyment out of life. Late in his route, however, he learns that he has cancer in his leg and it has to be amputated. This leaves him in a deep depression, bad enough that he looks to be contemplating suicide, and trying to find a way to snap him out of it forms the crux of the route's climax.

The Flash:
Hunter Zolomon was an up and coming FBI agent until a bad call in the field caused him to be shot in the knee by a supervillain and his father-in-law to be killed by the same villain. Losing his ability to walk, he was promptly discharged, and his life and mental state fell apart between the derailment of his career and his wife leaving him. When he learns that Wally West is the Flash, he proceeds to beg Wally to use the Cosmic Treadmill to time travel back and prevent the incident that crippled him, but Wally refuses on the basis of time travel being extraordinarily dangerous and unpredictable… so an increasingly unhinged Hunter tries to use the Treadmill himself to do it and accidentally causes a chronal explosion that transforms him into the new Professor Zoom and breaks what remains of his mind.
One Elseworlds story called Flashpoint (1999) (Not to be confused with the Crisis Crossover of the same name) centers around Flash taking the bullet for JFK, an act that causes him to be paralyzed from the neck down. This, of course, ends his career as the Scarlet Speedster.

In While My Pretty One Sleeps, Myles was forced to retire from his job as Police Commissioner a year ago, after having a major heart attack. He's taking it hard, especially as his job gave him something to focus on besides his grief for his murdered wife, and he hasn't got much of a life outside of hanging out with - and worrying about - his adult daughter. Things start to improve for him when he looks into taking a job with the Drug Enforcement Agency in Washington and becomes acquainted with an attractive widow named Kitty.

Cars:
In the first Cars movie, Lightning McQueen discovers that Doc Hudson was actually the Fabulous Hudson Hornet, a legendary racecar. Doc ultimately explains that the only reason he "quit" racing was that he suffered a major crash during a race. By the time he could race again, the racing industry merely brushed him off without a second thought.
McQueen himself ends up in a similar crash in Cars 3, forcing him out of the sport for some time. While he does seek to make a comeback, he ultimately decides on Passing the Torch and becomes a coach for the next generation of racers.

Lonely Wolf Treat: The rabbit Mango used to work as a farmer on Mount Sorbet, until he was caught in an avalanche and broke his leg. After Cotton rescued him and brought him to his wolf pack to recover, Mango never ended up returning home after that, partly because he was ashamed of how he initially treated the wolf, and partly because his leg never ended up fully healing, so he wouldn't have been able to work at the farm anymore anyway.

The Order (2007): Several of the Order's members lost their previous careers to injuries.
"Calamity" James Wa was a track and baseball star throughout high school and into his college years, due to his phenomenal running speed. He was even on the cover of Sports Illustrated, referred to as "the boy most likely to succeed." Not long after, he lost his legs in a car accident.
Milo Fields was a former soldier who was shot through the spine after becoming an anti-war protester.
Dennis Michael Murray was a warrant officer who was critically wounded and paralyzed during the incident that led to Tony Stark becoming Iron Man.

A Dog's Purpose:
Ethan had to retire from his promising football career after an injury caused by jumping out of his bedroom window during a fire.
Ellie was a search-and-rescue dog. During one rescue, she got acid on her nose which killed her sense of smell. She couldn't smell more than a few feet in front of her and thus she was retired.
Jakob was Ellie's first handler. He retired after he was hit with a gunshot during a rescue.

In With Pearl and Ruby Glowing, some characters receive injuries that put an end to their careers, which are usually a direct result of being assaulted.
Korra was an athlete, but God's Will First assaulted her for being in a relationship with Asami and broke her spine, resulting in paralysis from the waist down.
Danny was framed for raping Darla and this caused him to get raped in prison so many times that he became injured and can't dance anymore. Surgery is an option, but he can't afford it, and even if he could, it might not work.
Louis and Odette both received injuries that ended their ballet careers in different ways. Louis was gang-raped and he worsened the damage by going on stage anyway, and Odette injured her leg in a fire.
Hercules was raped by Hades, who is his uncle here. He took up wrestling and found that getting pinned down reminded him of his abuse, so he started taking steroids to keep winning. Hercules eventually took too much and suffered a heart attack bad enough that he can't wrestle anymore.
Mercury practised capoeira alone at home and wanted to compete, but he tried to use his skills to fight back against his abusive father, who smashed his legs and refused to get him medical help. Both his legs eventually had to be amputated due to gangrene.
Inverted in the case of Crushed Ice Chilla; he was originally inspired to become an ice dancer because he saw ice dancing on TV in the hospital where he had his feet amputated. He got good prosthetics and has now been selected for the Olympics.

Traveller: During character creation, you may suffer a crippling injury in the line of duty, and have the option to undergo a risky medical procedure (which may restore you completely, or kill you - and yes, this is still during character creation). Refusing gives you some stat penalties and forces you to muster out immediately, as you're no longer deemed fit to serve. (You can still be an adventurer.)

Gintama: Sakamoto was once a swordsman as skillful as his comrades in the Joui War but has switched to guns in the present. That's because he was busy carrying an injured enemy to safety during the war when somebody —who turns out to be eventual antagonist Batou — attacked him from behind and cut right through his dominant hand, leaving it unfit to ever wield a sword again.

In his route of In Your Arms Tonight, promising ceramics artist Soji Higayashima has his right hand severely injured in a car accident. The damage is bad enough to impair the mobility of his hand, making him unable to continue in his art. His epilogue suggests that with physical therapy he will recover enough to resume his work.

It happens a few times on M*A*S*H:
In one episode, a football player has to have his leg amputated. Feeling angry and bitter about it, he contemplates suicide, thinking that playing football was the only thing that he was any good at. But as he and Radar reminisce about a tough game he played, he remembers the importance of not giving up, so he leaves with the resolve to at least try.
In another episode, a concert pianist loses dexterity in his hand. Unlike the football player, he doesn't hold it against his doctor but is still left with a lot of self-loathing and the belief that his gift of music is gone. Major Winchester helps him through it by giving him some sheet music for the left hand only. The man claims that he can't make a career out of those pieces and Winchester is aware of it, but he does this act to show him that, regardless of his physical ability, he still has his gift and encourages him to find other ways to share it with the world. "You and the piano will always be as one."
In another episode, an army helicopter pilot is revealed to have diabetes. He kept it a secret for this long by scrounging his own insulin and watching what he consumes. He doesn't want to lose his career as an army pilot, but since it's inevitable when his disease is exposed, he accepts this graciously by the end of the episode and, from what he says, appears at least willing to accept a desk job.

From the Persona series:
Anna Yoshizaka of Persona 2 was a star track athlete before being injured in a hit and run. She's depressed as a result, and in Innocent Sin, makes a wish to Joker to heal her legs. She subsequently joins the Masked Circle as an executive.
Persona 3's Kazuchi Miyamoto is a sports team member who is seriously risking losing the ability to walk in order to train and win a competition so that he can convince his nephew, who was crippled in an accident, to undergo rehab. Eventually, he quits the team to recuperate.
Ryuji Sakamoto, one of the party members from Persona 5, has this as his backstory. He was forced to quit the track team after an Evil Teacher subjected him to Training from Hell, goaded him into attacking him, and broke one of his legs so that the track team could receive less funding than the volleyball team; while he can still walk and run it's not on the same level as he used to. This is one of the reasons he becomes a party member - to get revenge on the teacher.

The titular character of Doctor Strange (2016) crashed his car at the beginning of the film, leading to nerve damage that caused his hands to shake uncontrollably. Strange was a neurosurgeon before the crash, meaning it was impossible for him to continue working without putting every single one of his patients at enormous risk. It is pointed out that he could still have a long and fulfilling career as a doctor and would be an invaluable resource as a consultant for other neurosurgeons. However, for Strange, medicine holds no interest if he cannot be a surgeon so he wrecks his life looking for a cure for his condition.

In Mordheim: City of the Damned, much like the Mordheim tabletop game, troops can suffer permanent debilitating injuries and it's usually best to retire your gravely-injured fighters and replace them with "intact" raw recruits unless they're highly experienced or you're just really attached to them. Having a grizzled old Handicapped Badass Sister Superior with a peg leg, gouged eye, mutilated hand, and a permanently crazed look on her face from that skull fracture, beating Skaven to death with a giant flail is certainly cool, but her multiple wounds will affect her combat performance considerably, plus she won't be able to climb walls.

On SEAL Team this is a highly likely possibility for all the SEAL characters. They perform extremely dangerous missions and put their bodies through extreme stress.
Danny had to retire after barely surviving a bomb blast and is still in a lot of pain.
Ray injured his shoulder and lied about going to see a doctor because it could get him pulled from a mission and cost him his combat hazard pay. When someone dies because of the lie, Ray is horribly guilt-ridden but fears that if he comes clean, it will end his career in the Navy.
Jason sustains a nasty hit on the head which has him disoriented and hallucinating. He lies about the symptoms to his doctor because he does not want to be taken off the team. When he returns home, the injury flares up again and he has a nasty episode in a restaurant that puts his future as team leader and SEAL in question.
A major storyline in late season 2 involves Clay surviving an IED blast but suffering severe shrapnel wounds that leave him with nerve damage in his right leg. He initially shuts down and refuses to even talk to his very worried team after doctors tell him his career may be over. At season's end, it's still up in the air whether Clay will ever be able to return to being a SEAL.

Such real-life injuries happen often in Professional Wrestling: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who continued wrestling for several years after having his neck broken, but the injury limited his moveset, and he was forced to retire or risk (at best) permanent paralysis by the end of his run in 2003, Ted DiBiase, Hayabusa, and Yoshihiro Takayama are just some, and then there are the injuries that weren't only career-ending, but life-ending.

Case Closed:
In the second Non-Serial Movie Detective Conan Film 02: The Fourteeth Target, the murderer is revealed to be Kohei Sawaki, a sommelier whose taste buds were destroyed in an accident, taking revenge on the people who in one way or another, ended his career.
Similarly, in the fourth Non-Serial Movie Detective Conan Film 04: Captured In Her Eyes, the culprit is Kyosuke Kazato, a surgeon who had the tendons of his right hand intentionally severed by a jealous colleague during a surgery. He switched to become a therapist, but later killed the one who ruined his career... and others who either were involved or found out... and then Ran became his target since she witnessed what was supposed to be his last kill.
In the canon case "Kobayashi-sensei's Love", the culprit turns out to be a former baseball prodigy who got two of these. His abusive sponsor started to demand that he paid her the money she invested in his career, and when she crossed the line and tried to force him to sign a life insurance so she'd kill him and then cash on it, he stabbed her to death Additionally, said culprit attempted to use what was left of his baseball skills to try killing the woman who had witnessed his kill... the aforementioned Kobayashi-sensei.
Subverted in a filler case: an actor and former acrobat was supposed to have one, but somehow the pain went away some time ago. This allowed him to re-start using his acrobatic skills... to become a thief and later a killer, including a rather spectacular Super Window Jump to escape from the police when he's Out-Gambitted by them.
In a manga case, a former basketball player was accidentally elbowed in the eye by a teammate and, as a result, he cannot play any longer. It wasn't an accident: a jealous teammate asked the culprit to do it so he could get in the titular line-up. When the injury definitely took the first player out of the sport, the culprit started blackmailing the jealous guy about it... and ended up dead for it.
In one case, the Jerkass father of a rich girl not only forbids his daughter from marrying her pianist boyfriend but stomps on the pianist's hand and breaks it, deliberately ruining the boyfriend's career. The poor piano man commits suicide and the Broken Bird daughter runs away; the father winds up the story's murder victim at the hands of the boyfriend's father.

In Dinosaur Sanctuary, Masaru, a Triceratops, was a popular zoo attraction for years, until he got one of his horns stuck in his enclosure wall and broke it off. Though the injury was entirely superficial, the popularity of his exhibit plummeted, and he was relocated to a much smaller zoo and replaced by another Triceratops whose horns were intact. Even there, he was relatively unpopular until his keepers decided to play into the idea of his broken horn by putting it on display as part of the exhibit (even challenging guests to try to lift it), which turned out to be a good enough gimmick to save him from being sold again.

Bran gets pushed out of a window and is paralyzed from the waist down, destroying any possibility of his ever being a knight which was his dream and a very suitable calling for a younger son of a feudal lord.
Willas Tyrell, the heir to Highgarden, was a promising knight until his leg got crushed in a tournament.
Jaime Lannister, also known as the best swordsman in Westeros loses his sword-hand, and so far has made little progress at learning to fight left-handed.

One Piece: Chef Zeff used to be a notorious pirate nicknamed "Red Leg Zeff" due to his kick-based fighting style until he was shipwrecked and forced to eat his own leg to survive. His Seadog Peg Leg would cripple his fighting style, so Zeff chose to retire and become a restaurateur in the East Blue.

Lilia from Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation has one of these in her backstory. Once a royal guardsmaid, she was stabbed with a poison dagger while trying to thwart an attempt on the newborn princess of Asura's life. The poison was so terrible that she barely survived, and it permanently damaged her leg. After that, she was fired. The narration notes that since Lilia knew the layout of the palace she was assigned to guard, she was lucky to have merely been fired — others in her position had been executed.

This trope is used in The Fairly OddParents! The Bronze Kneecap explains that tripping over the Crimson Chin's titular facial feature was what caused him to injure his knee and ended his career as a regional Jai Alai athlete who always got in 3rd Place. He subsequently smelts all of his bronze trophies and makes them into his villain costume. Timmy views this as a major overreaction and the Bronze Kneecap responds that the Crimson Chin never even said he was sorry.
It should also be noted that Timmy unwittingly did the same thing to Mr. Bickles during the episode and manages to evade such extreme repercussions by apologizing and effectively Talking the Monster to Death. (Although Timmy didn't actually injure Mr. Bickles. He just put on a better magic act and consequently drove him out of business.) It's hard to feel sorry for him given that he's basically a spoof of the Wide-Eyed Idealist who has a new "Dream" every single solitary episode. The fact that Timmy ruined one out of countless and merely by being better at it makes Mr. Bickles seem like a stupid selfish baby.
This trope is played with for yet another episode. In this one, Timmy cannot sing his part in Mr. Bickles' play because he needs his tonsils taken out. That doesn't stop him from trying to sing anyway. Unfortunately, Mr. Bickles doesn't take it well when Timmy fails due to his aching throat, causing him to drop to his knees and whine about his so-called dream being ruined. This time someone else's career is "ended" by someone else's illness.

(They all trained under the same violin teacher and former classical music star.) With her career in tatters, the woman died of suicide out of despair — and her boyfriend killed the others, both as revenge and to make sure that their master's prized Stradivarius violin would not go to the ones who caused his beloved's death.

In Forrest Gump, Lieutenant Dan has to leave the army after losing his legs in Vietnam. He had an ancestor die in "every single American war" and believed the same was supposed to happen to him, so being left alive but unable to fight turns him into an alcoholic mess for a long time. He gets better by the end of the movie, complete with prosthetic legs.

Ultraman Leo: Seven returns in the first episode to confront Alien Magma and the Giras Brothers, but the trio overwhelm him and break his leg, forcing Leo to rescue him. His leg remains injured even when he takes human form, and the damage sustained through both that and the beatdown given to him by the villains leave him unable to do much fighting, instead becoming a supporting mentor to Leo.
Heisei Ultraseven: Ran further with it, showing that Seven was out of commission while recovering on Earth after failing to leave the planet, within the series it took more than 20 years for him to recover.

AC/DC:
Lead singer Brian Johnson retired from touring in 2016, with the official reason for his departure being hearing problems that made it unsafe for him to continue performing with the band. Johnson himself, however, claims that his hearing problems were not caused by performing, but from neglecting to wear ear protection during a car race, and that the other members of the band blew his injuries out of proportion to justify forcing him out.
Co-founder Malcolm Young was forced to retire in 2014 when he was diagnosed with early-onset dementia. He died in 2017.

Downplayed in Safe Havens: after multiple injuries to it over the years, the ligaments of Dave's left knee completely snapped during his final college game (while scoring the championship-winning point, no less). While he was still able to play basketball, that knee injury basically killed any chance he had of playing in the NBA, thanks to the demanding schedule being too strenuous on his knee. He eventually made a career playing for an Italian basketball team (with a much less demanding schedule), leading them to several championships and winning gold in the 2016 Summer Olympics on Team USA's men's basketball team.

Warhammer 40,000: Thanks to the prevalence of crude biomechanical limbs, many soldiers can continue serving the Imperium even with lost limbs.
However, it's heavily implied that some such soldiers are lobotomized and given cybernetics to function as servitors.
Space Marines too heavily wounded even for cybernetics or the Apothecary's skill can be interred in a Dreadnought, a Mini-Mecha that functions as a life-support system and heavy weapons platform at the cot of putting the Marine into centuries-long sleep between battles. Interestingly, Traitor Marines do this as well... except they see it as punishment: Chaos Dreadnoughts have their legs and weapons removed during battles, but they don't get to sleep between battles and are instead chained to a wall, left in total sensory deprivation all the while. Nearly all of them are eventually driven violently insane in the process. That's before constant exposure to the malevolent energies of the Warp inevitably and painfully mutate them into Helbrutes: near-mindless demonic cyborg monsters physically merged with their dreadnoughts that exist in perpetual agony-driven rage. It's little wonder why Chaos Marines consider death preferable to internment.

Early on in The Man Who Brought the Dodgers Back to Brooklyn, Daniel "Squat" Malone is poised for a promising career with the LA Dodgers' farm team in Montreal in 1958 and is predicted to become the aging Roy Campanella's replacement as catcher. That comes to an end one icy evening in Ann Arbor, Michigan, while visiting his best friend Bobby Hanes in college; while playing catch with Bobby in the street, a car hits Squat and mangles his legs, requiring one to be amputated, and effectively ends his life as a baseball player.

Maddy from Even If We Break was a high school lacrosse player who expected to get a sports scholarship, until her ligaments were damaged in a car crash. Afterwards she became a Functional Addict, taking increasing amounts of painkillers she didn't need, partly to cope with the loss of an activity that gave her life meaning.

In Justice Society of America, Citizen Steel had hoped to become a professional football player but suffered a severe leg injury that caused his leg to be amputated below the knee. Eventually, comic-book stuff enabled him to grow a new, unbreakable leg (and nearly unbreakable body), although it still doesn't help him go back to playing football since he's now too heavy to run.

Soloist Kathryn Morgan of the New York City Ballet was five years into a very promising career (she was on the fast track to becoming a principal ballerina with the company) when she was hit by Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which unfortunately put an end to her time with the company. She has since made a name for herself as a YouTube dance guru, and after seven years away, subverted the trope when she joined the incredibly well-respected Miami City Ballet as a soloist in 2019. As of 2023, she is married to former Ballet West soloist Chris Sellars, with whom she has opened a dance school in southern California, and still dances as a guest artist with ballet companies around the country.

Future GPX Cyber Formula:
Almost happens to Hayato and Randoll in the ZERO arc when they suffered serious injuries in a crash at the British GP. They got better and they return to racing (although Randoll takes longer to come back than Hayato).
In Bootsvorz's backstory, a nasty crash at a test drive resulted in losing his left eye and arm, but he returned to racing after gaining a new arm and eye.
During the German GP, racer Johji Ohtomo crashed, suffering serious injuries. Prior to the crash, Johji and Hayato's Super Asruada had a minor collision, leading Hayato to believe Johji's crash was a result of that incident. In reality, Johji turned off his car's computer because he was overwhelmed by the large amounts of data fed into it, hoping instead to race on his instincts. He crashed soon afterwards.
A racer named John Cleab has his racing career ended in a car accident, but it happened outside the race track. And to make it worse, he didn’t disclose his accident to the press because he was worried about a young girl’s future. (He crashed trying to avoid her as she ran into the street playing with her ball.)

In the original Gaiking series, the main hero Sanshiro Tsuwabuki was a baseball star until his hands were injured, forcing him out of the game. It turns out his wounds came from a murder attempt by the enemy forces, who were taking out all the prospective candidates to be Gaiking's pilot one by one; as the Sole Survivor of the group, he got lucky enough to be recruited by Gaiking's creator.

JAG:
The series is centered on a Naval Aviator named Harmon Rabb, Jr. He was a carrier fighter pilot, following in his father's footsteps until he crashed his plane in a night landing on an aircraft carrier due to an undiagnosed vision problem. In order to stay in the Navy, he went to law school and became a judge advocate (military lawyer).
In Rabb's case, this gets subverted by the beginning of Season 5, where surgery to correct his problem allowed him to resume a career as a fighter pilot. However, he leaves once again for the judge advocate branch because he is going to continually get passed over for squadron command by other aviators who've had longer uninterrupted careers.
Also at the end of season 7, Bud Roberts steps on a landmine in Afghanistan and has to struggle throughout the next two seasons to remain in the Navy.

Ultimately subverted by Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath. On his last day of work in a sheet metal shop, he accidentally cut off the tips of the middle and ring fingers on his right hand. He thought his music career was over until his supervisor played him a record by jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, who only had two fingers on his fret hand. This inspired Tony to continue in music. He made prosthetic tips for the two fingers he lost, then down-tuned his guitar a full step to make it easier to bend the strings. This gave Black Sabbath their signature sound.

An episode of the revived Fantasy Island had a former high school nerd express his desire to trade places with a football jock from his school, hoping for a glorious career in pro football and ending up with a popular girl. Mr. Roarke obliges. He then does a Time Skip to a high school reunion, where the guys find out that his new life didn't turn out this way. During one of his first games, he receives an injury that permanently ends his career. He does end up with the girl, but they live in a trailer. He works at a department store and, apparently had trouble performing in bed. In the end, he opts to go back to his life, and he then makes it his personal mission to send the jock to college.

One episode of Forever (2014) has Henry trying to determine who kidnapped a prima ballerina and cut off her foot ending her career. He ultimately determines that she arranged for herself to be kidnapped and mutilated, having learned that she had a disease that would have forced her to retire in a year or two anyway; by ending her career this way, she avoids the ignominy of fading out as her condition gets worse and gets to establish a tragic reputation as the prima ballerina who never got the chance to shine.

Ted Lasso has the "old athlete" variation. AFC Richmond captain Roy Kent has had a great career, but he's now old and slow, and everyone knows his days of pro soccer are coming to an end. In the first season finale, he busts his knee during a tackle and has to limp off the field, with the commentators noting that it's an injury he probably won't recover from. They're right, as he retires in between seasons.

Cadet Thomas Lasky is something of a reluctant soldier and gets a chance to leave the Academy without losing face when it turns out he's allergic to an important fluid needed for the cryosleep process. He's given a medical discharge paper and is told to think over whether he wants to sign it. That night the Covenant attacks. Thirty years later he's an officer on the UNSC Infinity, and his body is shown to be Covered in Scars from the allergic reaction before he zips up his uniform and climbs into a cryosleep tube.

In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, several cases are shown in order to portray the heavy toll the mere mortal demon slayers pay to fight and win against supernatural, quasi-immortal demons:
Entertainment District: the loss of Tengen's left hand and eye greatly impede his ability to serve as a Hashira, so he chooses to retire and take a supporting role on the sidelines, still assisting the Demon Slayer Corps in any way he can.
Sunrise Cool down / Epilogue: Tanjiro's final battle against Muzan ended with him losing his right eye and left arm, immediately after Muzan turned Tanjiro into his demonic successor, which healed both eye and arm, but when Tanjiro is brought back to normal as a human that healing process was broken, not to the state where Tanjiro completely lost them but one where they are almost useless, Tanjiro remarks his sight on the right eye is very dim and he can barely move his left arm; the Demon Slayer Corps disbanding after Muzan's fall and all demons born from him dying is a good thing for Tanjiro since he would be quite limited in a fight now.

Happens several times in Warrior Cats. For the most part, the cat is already considerably old when it happens:
Stonepelt retires early due to a shoulder injury that didn't heal properly.
Longtail retires early when he goes blind from infected scratched eyes he received while rabbit hunting.
The most notable example in the series, though, is Cinderpelt, whose hind leg was permanently damaged when she was hit by a car when she was only an apprentice. She dreamed of being a warrior but decided to serve her Clan as a medicine cat after it became clear her leg would never heal. She is later reincarnated and is able to become a warrior as Cinderheart.
Briarlight, whose spine was broken when a tree fell on her just before she was about to receive her warrior name. Though she survived, her paralyzed hind legs made her unable to fight or even move around much, so she just helped out around the camp, especially in the medicine cat's den.
Subverted with Brightheart. She was mauled by a dog, leaving her missing one eye. Others try to get her to retire. Brightheart, however, ends up becoming a warrior despite her partial blindness.
Petalfall had to retire from being a deputy due to epilepsy.
Lilywhisker was forced to retire to the elder's den after a tunnel collapse broke her spine and left her unable to use her back legs.
Halftail retired early because he couldn't keep balance after most of his tail was lost to a badger.

Run At The Cup:
Averted for Vi after Landsman attacks her. She'll be out of commission for months, but she should be able to return to hockey.
Played straight for Landsman herself when Mylo retaliates for her attack on Vi. It also ends Mylo's career, as he is expelled from the league afterwards.

Hajime no Ippo
Nekota was forced to give up boxing after an illegal punch from his opponent resulted in permanent mid-brain damage and punch-drunk syndrome, although he experienced the symptoms of the latter before the fight (it was from a fight with his friendly rival Kamogawa).
Kamogawa himself ended up going through this as well, after subjecting himself to Training from Hell that went far beyond his physical capabilities.
Happens more than once in the case of fighters with "glass jaws", like Miyata's father, Nekota and Kamogawa's friend Dankichi Hama, and Ryuuichi Hayami. It's also a potential problem for Miyata, who's implied to have inherited his father's "glass jaw".

In I've Got You Under My Skin, Rod Kimball was a talented football player in college and had signed a lucrative contract with the New York Giants. Unfortunately, after playing just one season, he was the victim of a hit-and-run that left him permanently disabled. His injury even affected his new wife's career; Alison had been planning to attend medical school, but put those plans aside to help Rod's rehabilitation, then took night classes to become a pharmacist to support them financially after the money Rod got from his brief football career ran out.

An infamous plane crash in 1975 killed its pilot, a man named Joseph Farkas, and also ended the careers of professional wrestlers Johnny Valentine and Bob Bruggers. Future legend Ric Flair was also badly injured in the crash but was able to continue his career after fixing his broken back. Bruggers could have made a comeback but decided to simply retire instead. "Mr. Wrestling" Tim Woods was injured as well but made a comeback, and actually returned to the ring two weeks after the crash despite being in horrible pain, just to dispel the rumors that he had been on the plane, as he was a Face and Flair, Valentine and Bruggers were heels, and it would have hurt kayfabe for them to have travelled together.

In Diggstown, Caine finds out that the once-great boxer Charles Macom Diggs (for whom the titular town is named), was poisoned by Gillon when Diggs refused to throw a fight. The poison and the resulting injuries from the fight give Diggs brain damage and leave him largely catatonic. He becomes lucid enough to give a supportive look to Roy during the climactic fight, giving Roy the strength to continue.

In Battleborn, El Dragón's arms being ripped off were speculated to be one according to his audio lore challenge. Due to the CWF's prohibition on cybernetically-augmented organics in competition, he was forced into retirement against his will immediately after his match with ISIC, while his injuries were still fresh and being interviewed by a reporter indifferent to the actual seriousness of the matter instead of being treated. Fortunately, though, he was able to eventually squeeze back to the top.

In The Right Stuff this is a constant fear of the astronauts.
Alan Shepard has an undiagnosed condition inner ear condition that causes him to temporarily lose balance and hearing. It should disqualify him from the astronaut program and probably from flying at all. However, it is intermittent and he is able to hide it from NASA till after his historic mission as the first American in space.
Chris Kraft badly burned his hand as a child. When he applied for flight training, the damage was deemed too extensive and he was rejected.
Subverted with Deke Slayton who lost a ring finger in a farm accident as a child. That finger is deemed non-essential for a pilot and he was accepted for pilot training. He was later diagnosed with heart arrhythmia but it was not deemed serious to ground him. It was then double-subverted when NASA changes its mind and grounds him due to the arrhythmia after all.note In real life, the trope would become triple-subverted in 1975 when Slayton flew as part of the Apollo-Soyuz mission.
John Glenn is about to be retired from test flying because he is getting too old and his reflexes are not as good as they used to be.

Manga author Daisuke Ashihara succumbed to a form of juvenile arthritis that rendered it incredibly painful for him to draw, such that his series, World Trigger, had to be put on indefinite hiatus in November 2016. This overlaps with a subverted but also downplayed example of Dream-Crushing Handicap, as he had this arthritis from the moment he started his career, and it did hurt for him to draw right from the start, but it didn't become debilitating until later. In late October 2018, he managed to avert this trope, with him recovering enough to continue drawing World Trigger, and with the series moving to a monthly magazine so as not to stress his bones so much.

In Captain Tsubasa, this is the reason why Roberto Hongo left soccer. During one of his best matches, he was accidentally elbowed to the head and near his eyes; the brain and optical nerve damage he sustained severely limited his eyesight, so he had to retire from soccer. He was this close to crossing the Despair Event Horizon and be Driven to Suicide, but Tsubasa and his family helped him through and, in a few years, he built a new and very successful career as a soccer coach.

In The Animatrix short "World Record", a sprint runner almost exits the Matrix during the record-breaking sprint but is pulled back inside, where his mind decides he has run past his body capacities and breaks said body. He is left in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. But because he knows the truth, with enough effort he can push himself past those limitations. It's left ambiguous how much he can really do.

Rurouni Kenshin, being a series about sword-fighting, has several examples, as well as aversions:
Discussed with Yuutaro, the second student of the revived Kamiya Kasshin School, who ends up in the way of one of Raijuta's air-slicing attacks that severs the tendons in his sword-arm. While Kaoru and Yahiko mourn the loss of their promising junior, Yuutaro himself declares that if he can't use his right hand anymore, he'll use his left instead...and his rich dad is willing to send him to doctors in Germany to try and repair his right arm anyway. A brief glance at the dojo's wall in the Distant Finale shows Yuutaro listed as a junior instructor.
The Meiji government tried to invoke this on Makoto Shishio, Kenshin's successor as Manslayer because they feared his ambition. They jumped him at night, knocked him out, and burned him alive. That certainly ended his old career. Unfortunately for the government, it just made Shishio angry…
At the beginning of the "Jinchuu" arc, a flashback shows that near the end of the civil war, Kenshin fought a massive samurai working for the Shogunate and cut off his sword hand. When the samurai demanded Kenshin kill him because of this, Kenshin refused. The samurai did not take the mercy well, and carried a grudge for years.
In the finale, Kenshin's career as a swordsman is brought to an end because his fragile build couldn't keep up with the demands of his sword style, resulting in irreparable damage to his muscle tissue. He's just fine with this, however, since he's brought closure to his past and wishes to settle down with Kaoru.
Anime-only example: In the first episode, Gohei Hiruma was a former student at the Kamiya Kasshin dojo who harassed and was overly violent towards the other students. In retaliation, Kaoru's father shattered Gohei's right thumb, specifically mentioning this trope as the reason. It doesn't take, as Gohei learns to fight left-handed – which is what clues Kenshin into having Kaoru check her father's old records. During their fight, Kenshin shatters the knuckles on Gohei's left hand, ensuring that he can never hold a sword again.

In RimWorld, characters can survive a headshot, but if they take damage to the brain, that usually spells the end of their time as a useful member of the colony, as brain damage both severely affects their ability to do anything and is impossible to heal. Only Luciferium can get them back in order, and even then due to lethal addiction issues and limited availability they'll be Living on Borrowed Time.
Later patches and expansions added healer mech serum and biosculptor pods, which are difficult to obtain but are the only things capable of fixing brain damage with no drawbacks.

Dragonriders of Pern:
Subverted by Menolly, who injures her hand cleaning fish, and her own mother deliberately stitches her palm up wrong, crippling her hand so she can barely perform routine household tasks (making her even more despised), let alone play any instrument. Her voice and ability to compose are unharmed, however, and after being taken to the Harperhall, she goes through a great deal of physical therapy to help recover from her injury. She eventually reaches the rank of Master in her Craft.
Played straight in The Skies of Pern when F'lessan and bronze Golanth are badly injured by wildcats, which puts an end to their life of fighting Thread, but they find new meaning in studying astronomy and helping the other dragons and riders discover a new purpose in protecting the skies from other interstellar debris.

There's a chance in that a character leading troops into battle may suffer a particularly bad blow to the head that renders them incapable, meaning they'll need a regent if they happen to be the ruler. Either way, they'll be of no use whatsoever for the rest of their (often mercifully short) days.
Characters in the Byzantine culture group cannot inherit titles if they are blind, ending their careers as rulers.

In Blue Reflection, Hinako was a promising ballet dancer, but she got into a car accident that injured her knee badly enough that she cannot perform jumps well anymore. When Yuzu and Lime want Hinako to become a Reflector, she only agrees once they tell her that a wish of hers will be fulfilled in return.

Rammstein vocalist Till Lindemann had been a competitive swimmer in his youth and even qualified for participating in the 1980 Olympics. A stomach injury (and a falling out with the coaches) had put the brakes on that. It's entirely possible that if his swimming career hadn't been cut short, Rammstein may not have formed at all.

Unearth drummer Nick Pierce narrowly subverted this after sustaining a back injury sometime after joining the band. He left the injury, a slipped disc, only partially treated for several years, and the disc began to calcify and push up against his spine, eventually piercing it and causing it to leak fluid. This led to his leg atrophying to the point that it was beginning to noticeably wither, which eventually forced him to pull off the band's 2016 Fury Tour after playing with excruciating back and leg pain for the first three and a half weeks of the tour. Back surgery to more fully correct the injury wasn't initially as effective as hoped, and he spent the rest of the year on the sidelines working to recover while the band toured with a fill-in.note Wovenwar and As I Lay Dying drummer Jordan Mancino He was ultimately able to recover and rejoined the band for a mini-tour at the beginning of 2017.

Cobra Kai: The climax of Season 2, a bloodbath between Rival Dojos in the halls of West Valley High, sees Robby kicking Miguel over the top balcony and sending him onto the staircase two floors down. Season 3 sees Miguel having to learn how to walk and how to throw punches and kicks again.

Former Suffocation guitarist Doug Cerrito will almost certainly never be involved in music again due to crippling arthritis.
