BACKGROUND: Humeral shaft fractures due to recreational arm wrestling are reported from time to time. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 19 year old, anabolic steroids up taking, recreational arm wrestler who sustained a spiral fracture of the right humeral bone and secondary radial nerve palsy. We discuss the surgical treatment and the biomechanics of this rare injury mechanism. CONCLUSION: Every professional or recreational arm wrestler has to be aware of dangerous sports injuries.
