N2  - There is a paucity of literature regarding atraumatic distalthird humeral shaft fractures, or "thrower's fracture." We report on a case of a healthy adult male, amateur athlete, who suffered an atraumatic fracture of the humerus while throwing a softball with his dominant arm. He underwent operative repair and developed a radial nerve palsy postoperatively that recovered 4/5 strength by 6 weeks and 5/5 strength by 12 weeks. Through this case report, we hope to increase the awareness of this unique injury and highlight the presentation, treatment, and complications associated with the thrower's fracture.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
