Peeta was cut on his upper leg by Cato, the District 2 tribute. According to Katniss, the cut went straight to the bone. Because of not treating the wound properly, infection set in and blood poisoning resulted. He also received multiple tracker jacker stings on his upper body.
Later in the book, Peeta's leg is mauled/ripped badly by one of the wolf muttations. The wound is so bad Katniss must create a tourniquet to staunch the flow of blood that, if allowed to continue, would have killed Peeta.
Peeta's leg was hurt so badly, at the following Victor's interviews Katniss discovers he has a prosthetic leg.
In the first book,
He is said to have a slight limp, bruises on his face, five tracker jacker stings, a deep laceration on his thigh caused by another tribute named Cato, various scrapes and a bad infection which causes him to have a high fever and no appetite for food. It is also hinted that he may be nauseous.
Near the end he nearly dies of blood loss from a gaping wound in his calf.
He then acquires a prosthetic leg as a replacement.
Second book,
He's not as beat up in this one...
But, he is badly shocked by an electric force field in the arena.
He forms scabs and mental disorientation from poisonous mist. Later he is nearly impaled by monkey fangs, but is saved by a morphling from district 4.
He is said to have violent nightmares.
Third book,
He is mentally "hi-jacked" by president Snow's people and tries to kill katniss.
In the Capitol, he is wearing handcuffs and his wrists are scarred from pushing his wrists against them.
He's pretty messed up even after the book ends.
After the incident with the tracer jackers, Peeta tells Katniss to run, and Cato stabs his left leg he's so mad. In the book Katniss recalls hearing a " long high pitched scream that never breaks for a breath." I am currently in the middle of reading it for a third time, and the second time I read it I realized it might have been Peeta.
