Abstract
Arm wrestling has become a popular sport practiced by both professionals and amateurs. Its popularity comes from the fact that the rules are simple; it is spectacular and does not require use of complicated equipment. In the years 2001 to 2013 ten cases of humeral bone fractures resulting from arm wrestling were admitted to the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology of the dr Jurasz University Hospital in Bydgoszcz. The assessment of the limb condition included the examination of the fractured extremity and an interview. All the patients underwent surgical treatment, using the method of open reduction and internal fixation. The aim of this work was to perform a biomechanical analysis of forces which act during arm wrestling, as well as explain the mechanism of occurrence of humeral bone fractures of similar topology as observed on X-rays.
