Abstract

We report a patient who sustained a hand injury while target shooting with a compound bow. An open metacarpal fracture occurred from the bow during the arming phase. This peculiar mechanism of injury has not been reported before. This report presents and discusses the mechanism of injury and reviews the literature on archery related injuries.
