A 33-year-old male presented with bilateral radial head fractures after weighted prone push-up exercise. The patient had Mason type I and II on right and left sides, respectively. He was managed conservatively with limited immobilisation and early range of motion exercises. The fracture healed and patient had no complaints at the last follow-up of 13 months. Bilateral radial head fracture is rare with push-up exercise, and can be successfully treated conservatively with immobilisation and early rehabilitation. Although push-up exercises are an excellent workout with known benefits, unusual modifications of standard techniques should be avoided.
