Definition

伤筋动骨

Literally means:

be injured in the tendons or bones

Actually means:

make big changes

It originally means one's body being seriously in jured. Figuratively it means something is seriously damaged. It may also mean making big changes of something. In the latter sense it refers to big and complete changes but not injury.

原指身体受到严重损害,比喻事物受到重大的损害。也比喻对事物整体作大改大动。在后一个意思中,仅仅用来表示彻底的改动,没有损伤的意思。
