DURING CLIMB TO CRUISE AT ABOUT 4,000 FT MSL, THE PLT HEARD A 'WHISTLING' NOISE AND NOTICED THAT THE CREW DOOR ADJACENT TO HIS SEAT WAS NOT COMPLETELY SECURED. THE DOOR CAME OPEN AS HE ATTEMPTED TO PROPERLY SECURE IT, AND YANKED HIS LEFT ARM OUTSIDE THE ACFT. HIS ARM WAS SUBSEQUENTLY BROKEN AS THE AIRSTREAM FORCED IT BACKWARDS AGAINST THE DOOR FRAME. HE ADVISED ATC OF HIS SITUATION AND RECEIVED VECTORS BACK TO HIS DEPARTURE POINT, WHERE HE MADE A SUCCESSFUL LANDING.
