Former NRL prop Ben Ross has posted photos of the horror fracture he received while arm wrestling on live TV.
The retired front-rower posted a composite image on his Instagram account on Saturday night.
It includes an X-ray of a badly fractured upper arm bone, another of a metal plate with several screws, and a long, bloodied bandage.
"Finally got to see the fractures, plates, screws and scar that will be with me for life," he wrote.
Ross has been recovering in a Sydney hospital since Thursday night, when his arm audibly broke during a charity arm wrestle with former NRL winger Wendell Sailor on Channel Nine's The Footy Show.
Graphic footage of the incident, which shows Ross screaming in pain before host Paul Vautin cuts to an ad break, quickly went viral on social media.
Ross has described it as the most painful injury of his career.
