Sadie Frost and Jodie Harsh at The Kitsch Lounge Riot host Carl Barat of Dirty Pretty Things (formerly of The Libertines) Birthday Party at The Pigalle Club. London, England - 05.06.08

The former wife of actor Jude Law was reportedly rushed to the emergency room by worried medics, who operated on the star's hand - using pins, plates and stitches to help heal the wound.

The star has been spotted zooming round the British capital on a push-bike in recent weeks in a bid to get fit.

However, even though the star was shaken by the accident, her friends have helped ease the pain - by humorously dubbing her battered hand "the claw", according the Britain's The Sun newspaper.

A source tells the publication, "It was very nasty and very painful but thankfully it wasn't more serious.

"She's taken it all in good spirits and has named her new hand 'the claw'."
