The radial head is an important stabilizer of the elbow joint. Radial head fractures are commonly associated with additional injuries to the ligamentous structures of the elbow and can significantly compromise elbow stability. Young patients with radial head fractures are more likely to be male and ...
comminuted radial head fractures with associated elbow instability. The major goal of radial head arthroplasty is to replicate the length of the native radial head and to avoid “overstuffing” or “understuffing” the radiocapitellar joint. It is important to assess for ...
In children, radial head fractures result from falls on the playground, gymnastic stunts, and sports.13 Anatomy The radial head articulates with the capitellum of the distal humerus and the ulna (proximal radial ulnar joint). The radial head is a secondary stabilizer of the elbow joint along ...

Elbow dislocation associated with radial head fracture is a rare lesion. The occurrence of such a lesion requires high energy trauma. The restoration of joint and radial head fracture that allows early mobilization is the best guarantee of a good functional outcome. We report a case of po...

The fracture had been treated with an elastic bandage or a collar and cuff sling with mobilization for forty-four individuals, with cast immobilization for thirty-four, with resection of the radial head in nineteen, with open reduction of the radial head in two, and with a collateral ligament...

Diagnosis of radial head fractures is based upon clinical examination and imaging, which allows the identification of the bone and ligament structures involved. Following the criteria of displacement, joint block, possibility of reconstruction, and stability of the fracture, a treatment algorithm can be...
