hecho unos zorros

"Maltrecho" como aporta Kirsten, es una buena opción que trasmite la idea.

Incluyo algunas opciones adicionales, por si se adaptan mejor al registro y tono general del contexto.

descostillado, hecho polvo, hecho cisco, hecho migas, machado, reventado, descoyuntado, descuajaringado, desriñonado... etc. y lo que te rondaré, morena.

Saludos cordiales.
