Boys aged 14 to 15 years accounted for 72% (49\/68) of the cases. Fracture occurred suddenly during arm wrestling in 63 boys, while the other 5 boys experienced antecedent medial elbow pain. The match status at the time of injury, provided for 46 patients, was varied. In 31 boys with known match details, injury occurred when a participant suddenly added more force to change the match status. Eight patients displayed anterior and\/or proximal displacement of the MHE fragment. Treatment was nonoperative in 25 patients and operative in 38 patients (n = 63, excluding 5 unknown patients). In 35 patients followed up for \u22653 months (mean, 17.6 \u00b1 12.3 months), outcomes were not significantly different between the operative and nonoperative groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MHE fracture-separation caused by arm wrestling occurred mostly in boys aged 14 to 15 years regardless of the match status. The likely direct cause is forceful traction of the attached flexor-pronator muscles. A relative mechanical imbalance during adolescence may be an underlying cause. A sudden change from concentric to eccentric contraction of the flexor-pronator muscles increases the likelihood of fracture occurrence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/23259671221087606","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,4]],"date-time":"2022-05-04T11:20:03Z","timestamp":1651663203000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Fracture-Separation of the Medial Humeral Epicondyle Caused by Arm Wrestling: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Kiyohisa","family":"Ogawa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Eiju General Hospital, Tokyo, Japan."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Atsushi","family":"Yoshida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, National Hospital Organization Saitama Hospital, Saitama, Japan."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Noboru","family":"Matsumura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, School of Medicine, Keio University, Tokyo, Japan."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wataru","family":"Inokuchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Eiju General Hospital, Tokyo, Japan."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-23259671221087606","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3945\/ajcn.116.142190"},{"key":"bibr2-23259671221087606","first-page":"533","volume-title":"Rockwood and Wilkins\u2019 Fractures in Children","author":"Beaty JH","year":"2010","edition":"7"},{"key":"bibr3-23259671221087606","first-page":"837","volume-title":"Gray\u2019s Anatomy: The Anatomical Basis of Clinical Practice. 41st ed.
