Riseborough: This patient has sustained a posterior dislocation of the elbow joint with fracture of both the coronoid process of the ulna and the lateral margin of the radial head (Fig 1). Fortunately, the coronoid process fracture is small, the fragment measuring about Full Text ...
Objective: To evaluate the effect of open reduction and internal fixation on radial head fracture and assess the post-operative function. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted from June 2016 to July 2017 at Liaquat National Hospital and Medical College, Karachi. Altogether, 28 ...
Severe Fracture Bullet-tip Stem Bullet-tip stem and inferior head contour is designed for ease of insertion. 01/03 Specifications Benefits Smooth Motion The design of the radial head implant allows for smooth motion within the canal and facilitates easy movement in soft tissues during pronation and...
Selecting the optimal radial head prosthesis to treat radial head fractures, especially in the context of complex elbow injuries like terrible triad, Monteggia, and Essex Lopresti, can be challenging, as there is currently no consensus in the field that favors a particular design. This study invest...
By levering the Kirschner’s wire with the elbow in the various position, the radial head was reduced. Using a drill, the Kirschner wire was anchored in the opposite cortical layer of the radial epiphysis, increasing the stability of the implant and fracture. During the maneuver, no damage ...
Replacement of the radial head for degenerative or post-traumatic disabilities Philosophies Resection of Radial Neck Application Primary replacement after fracture of the radial head. Symptomatic sequelae after radial head resection. The system can be used for primary and revision joint arthroplasty with ...
The main problem after radial head fracture is failure to gain full extension, probably caused by damage sustained by the capitellum of the humerus at the time of injury[2] and more importantly, fibrosis of the anterior capsule of the joint after organisation of haemarthrosis[3]. Mason and ...
fractureradial headThe purpose of this study is to provide a radiographic outcome assessment of radial head arthroplasty in correlation with clinical outcomes and to determine whether there is an association between certain patient factors and clinical and radiographic outcomes. A 10-year retrosp...
Background:Radial head arthroplasty (RHA) is commonly performed for isolated comminuted radial head fractures and in conjunction with traumatic elbow instability. However, there is a paucity of literature directly describing the characteristics and outcomes of patients who undergo RHA in a community-...
CONCLUSIONS: Patients treated with a metal radial head implant for a severely comminuted radial head fracture will have mild-to-moderate impairment of the physical capability of the elbow and wrist. At the time of short-term follow-up, arthroplasty with a met...
