Background/aim: Humeral shaft fractures may occur as a result of arm wrestling. The aim of this study was to present our treatment of humerus fracture sustained during arm wrestling.
Methods: A total of six patients, aged 22 to 48, were treated at our department form January 2008 to January 2010 with open reduction and internal fixation and with hanging arm casts. A review of all the relevant literature on the subject was also presented.
Results: In all the cases, the fractures healed and function returned to normal. No patient had any neural or vascular compromise.
Conclusion: Closed and operative treatments were equally successful in all reported cases.

Background: Snapping triceps is a dynamic condition in which a portion of the medial head of the triceps dislocates over the medial epicondyle during flexion or extension. Pushed by the triceps, the ulnar nerve typically also dislocates over the medial epicondyle, causing neuropathy. Posttraumatic cubitus varus deformities resulting from pediatric supracondylar fractures have been associated with snapping triceps.

Humeral fractures in arm wrestling are rarely reported entities in the orthopedic literature and can present with significant pain and debilitation. These injuries are even more uncommon in female practitioners of the sport. Rotational forces applied to the humerus during competition can result in the transmission of stress into the distal part of the humerus, thereby causing a spiral fracture.
