Radial head fractures

Jeffrey D Jackson et al. Hand Clin. 2007 May.

Abstract

Radial head fractures are the most common adult elbow fracture. Our ability to treat these fractures has improved with increased understanding of elbow biomechanics. Based on fracture type, possible treatment includes nonoperative management, open reduction and internal fixation, radial head resection, and replacement arthroplasty. Management and operative technique are discussed.
