Most radial head fractures are stable, nondisplaced injuries that can be successfully treated without surgery. Displaced fractures and fractures that are a component of a more complex pattern of elbow injury are best treated with surgery. Fractures that can be reconstructed with a stable construct ...
Fracture of the radial head and neck of Mason types II and III during growth: a 14-25 year follow-up. Twenty-four individuals, who were 16 years of age or younger when they sustained a fracture of the radial head or neck, were examined at a mean of 19 years... J Malmvik,Herberts...
A radial head elbow fracture is a fracture of the radial head bone, located near the elbow. It is the most common type ofelbow fracturein adults.1 Radial head fractures are often caused by a fall onto an outstretched hand. They are most common in two groups of patients: elderly women wi...
Herbert screw fixation of simple displaced fractures of the radial head involving up to one-half the articular surface is a reliable and effective technique. Following accurate reduction, the fracture surfaces are compressed with the Herbert scaphoid clamp and internally fixed with a Herbert sc...
Fracture of the radial head. Oblique XR of the elbow demonstrates a fracture of the radial head (arrow).* Monteggia fracture–dislocation of the proximal forearm. AP (A) and lateral (B) views demonstrate an anteriorly angulated fracture of the proximal ulna and anterior dislocation of the radi...
It is in these cases that fixation of the head, prosthetic replacement or primary MCL repair may be beneficial. Early excision arthroplasty seems to be an excellent procedure for isolated fracture of the radial head.Parag K ShanA. S. Solanki...
Discussion : Radial head prosthesis works as a spacer after fracture of the radial head and associated instability. If range of motion is much restricted post-operatively, the prosthesis can be removed with improved function as result.doi:10.1007/s00402-005-0032-2Per...
Roentgenological studies there revealed a dislocation of the right elbow with fracture of the radial head and a severely comminuted fracture of the distal radius. A posterior splint was applied, and the patient was transferred to the Emergency Ward at the Massachusetts General Hospital. Thorough ...

Radial head fractures in skeletally immature patients are also uncommon. We report a late presentation of a Type II Monteggia equivalent injury with a fracture of the radial head and neck and plastic deformation of the ulna in an 11-year-old boy. The radial head was located on the initial ...
