Arm wrestling is a popular recreational activity that involves intense and repetitive muscular contractions ofthe upper extremity. Arm wrestling can result in various musculoskeletal injuries, including bone fractures.Humeral shaft fractures, particularly spiral fractures, are the most common fractures resulting from armwrestling. Here, we present a case of a 25-year-old male patient who sustained a distal humerus spiralfracture during an arm-wrestling competition. The patient was managed conservatively with externalreduction, cast stabilization, and physiotherapy with good outcomes. Despite initial angulation androtation, the fracture healed well, and the patient regained full function of his arm within eight weeks. Thiscase highlights the biomechanical aspects and risk factors of this type of fracture during arm wrestling andthe value of protective measures such as proper technique, training, and protective equipment. It alsohighlights the potential for conservative management in such cases
