Breaking your Arm

The most common ways to break your Arm Naturally:

A broken arm may involve any of the three bones in your arm - the ulna, radius and humerus.

One of the most common causes of a broken arm is falling onto an outstretched hand, or just falling and hitting it at just the right angle to snap the bone. Another common cause is trauma such as a car accident or someone dropping something heavy on it at work, etc.

High impact sports (football etc..) is a common cause of injury to the arm.

If you are trying to break your own arm, purposely, in order to harm yourself...

WikiAnswers does NOT give advice on how to harm your body. PLEASE do not try to break your ankle or any other bone in your body. If you need someone to talk to people are available 24/7 to listen and help you. Call 1-800-273-TALK if you live in the US (for more numbers and support in different countries click on the link below).

If you are trying to break your own arm/injure yourself purposely- in order to stay home and avoid school (final exams/ a social event/ a court date/visiting the in-laws etc)...

You can end up permanently damaging yourself, to the point where you may never be able to move or play sports the way you used to. So don't harm your healthy, injury-free body. Plus, it hurts like hell...so unless, you are ready for 2 months of immobility and extreme pain, leave your arm alone.

The most common ways to break your ankle naturally:

Tripping and falling (especially in sports), car accidents (crushing injuries), landing incorrectly after jumping from great heights, twisting your ankle and not resting it, overuse, strong impact of a heavy object...

A fall or hit to your ankle can break one or more of the 3 main bones in your ankle joint: the fibula, the tibia or the talus. Sometimes, the injury can be more intense and include some of the 2 dozen bones in your foot.

In addition, you may need surgery and you may need a metal ankle to replace bone... So don't harm your healthy, injury-free body. Plus, it hurts a lot. So, unless you are ready for 2 months of immobility and extreme pain, leave your ankle alone.

You will experience severe pain with a broken bone, so it will never be "quietly". Second, it is very difficult to break a bone in a healthy young person, so it would be very difficult to do "on purpose".

What causes a spiral fracture of the humerus?

It most likely comes from a forseful twist of the arm!! To add to that: it's caused by an extreme muscle contraction, in other words it's actually your arm muscles that break you upper arm bone! the break curves around the bone, hence the name. also known as "ball thrower's fracture". it's a relatively rare type of injury, which i unfortunately have at the moment. i tripped over a brick walkway and landed on my shoulder on the grass. my muscles tensed up to protect me but ironically did so so severely that my arm broke! from personal experience i can add that it's extremely painful and uncomfortable, esp because it's my right arm and i am a jeweler.
