abstract="Upper limb injuries are a common occurrence in snowboarders, and these may be reduced by wearing wrist guards that transmit the force of the fall across the forearm. We present a case of a 26-year-old man who experienced a displaced left radial and ulnar fracture related to wearing a wristwatch while snowboarding. The wristwatch acted as a fulcrum around which the arm was fractured, serving as a stress riser that focused the force of the fall. The fracture was treated using open reduction and internal fixation.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
