Thrower's fracture: a comparison of two presentations of a rare fracture.

P A Evans1, R D Farnell, S Moalypour, J A McKeever.   

Abstract

We report two similar rare types of fracture of the lower end of the humerus sustained in fit young adults while throwing a ball. Both cases were seen within 1 week in a busy accident and emergency (A&E) department. The types of fracture in each case are unusual and, in the past, have been attributed to fatigue or to a repetitive strain pattern.
