title: [Humeral fracture due to arm wrestling - an indirect fracture in a doped athlete].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Humeral shaft fractures due to recreational arm wrestling are reported from time to time.
  
  
  METHODS
  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.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Every professional or recreational arm wrestler has to be aware of dangerous sports injuries.
