Clinical Faceoff: Slightly Displaced, Isolated, Partial Articular Fracture of the Radial Head

Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fracture treatment.

Fracture Dislocation of the Radial Head

Introduction Case Report Discussion References Abstract A case of 28-year-old man with closed fracture dislocation of the radial head following a fall from height is reported. He was treated with radial head excision. The radial head is an important stabilizer of the elbow, thus the rationale of radial head excision in management of radial head fractures should be scrutinized. There is much deb...

Percutaneous fixation of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fracture.

Operative treatment modalities for calcaneal fracture are still controversial. The outcome of intra-articular calcaneal fracture is mainly influenced by the soft tissue and the subtalar joint. Percutaneous method of internal fixation has been attempted to avoid the problems. Patients with displaced intra-articular calcaneal fracture types IIA, IIB and IIC were treated by initial distraction of ...

A randomized controlled trial of nonoperative treatment versus open reduction and internal fixation for stable, displaced, partial articular fractures of the radial head: the RAMBO trial

BACKGROUND The choice between operative or nonoperative treatment is questioned for partial articular fractures of the radial head that have at least 2 millimeters of articular step-off on at least one radiograph (defined as displaced), but less than 2 millimeter of gap between the fragments (defined as stable) and that are not associated with an elbow dislocation, interosseous ligament injury,...

Percutaneous K-wire buttress technique for displaced radial neck fracture.

Radial neck fractures are uncommon injuries in adults and more often found in children, where they account for 5-8.5% of elbow injuries. It is generally agreed that an angulation of less than 30 degrees is acceptable. However, anything greater than this should be improved in an attempt to restore normal anatomy and maximize the range of movement. We describe our management of a radial neck frac...
