A 40 year old man sustained a flaccid paralysis of his right upper extremity in a water skiing accident on August 22nd, 1976. At the time of the injury the patient was being towed on water skis, when another boat cut across his tow rope. The force of the boat hitting his tow rope, combined with the wakes of both boats, caused the patient to be thrown forcefully into the air, with his right arm forced behind his back. After hitting the water with a substantial impact, the patient noticed that he could not move his right arm. He also noted pain in the right shoulder.
