I wouldn't mention it at all. The first step is to get yourself into the door. If they like you enough, they might be more inclined to work around your injury.

I hate to say it, if you mention the injury and they hint any bit of a sob story behind it, they'd probably just toss the resume aside. That's what I'd do in their shoes.

When they ask about the year off, tell them about the injury, but you always want to spin it like you're trying to overcome it and you're a positive person... proves you've got character.
