title: [Arrow injury to the elbow causing arthritis].
abstract: We describe a severe injury caused by children's games. During a children's game, a 13 years-old girl was injured by an arrow with a metallic head and suffered injury to the elbow joint necessitating surgical drainage of an inflammatory reaction. This article enhances other descriptions in the literature of body injuries caused by dangerous games, and aims to draw attention to this phenomenon.
