There is an illegal throw in Judo they call Kani basami or scissors takedown.

This little known technique can be done in a "flying" variation where both feet and hands leave the ground or a "crab" version that you will post on one hand. There is a notable K-1 fighter that is famous for this throw. Remember his name?

It is banned from Judo because of the tendency to maim the Uke, esp. knees.

Kansetsu geri.. The stomping side kick to a locked knee.

The small bones in the foot can be broke easily enough that a stomp with the heel will break one or more...Intent is important.

If you should be so skilled as to catch a front kick twisting rapidly in one direction then forcefully twisting the opposite direction will cause severe trauma to the ankle or knee, the first turn brings the uke into position for destruction in the opposite direction. Don't do this to your friends!

I have others in mind but they work better after a takedown, these just make the takedown a bit easier...
