Operative Fixation of Radial Head Fractures
The radial head is an important structure that is crucial to the stability of both the elbow and forearm. Fractures of the radial head occur commonly and often are displaced or cause impingement to forearm rotation. Recent studies have further demonstrated the importance of maintaining or reconstructing the rigid buttress of the radial head. Advances in implant technology have benefited orthope...
متن کاملInternal Fixation of Radial Head Fractures with an Intramedullary Nail
Comminuted fractures of the radial head still present signi ̄cant technical and surgical challenges. In this article, we describe a novel ̄xation of comminuted radial head fractures with the help of an intramedullary nail. Experiments with solid, conventionally machined intramedullary nails showed some major drawbacks in the ̄xation of radial head fractures. Several design and manufacturing proc...
متن کاملOpen Reduction and Internal Fixation of Complex Radial Head Fractures
Fractures of the radial head have an incidence of about 1.7% to 5.4% of all adult fractures. These fractures are classified as simple or complex, depending upon whether there is an associated fracture or a ligamentous injury. Thorough clinical & radiological assessment should be done to differentiate simple fractures from complex fractures with concomitant elbow injury. The management of comple...
متن کاملOpen reduction and internal fixation of radial head fractures.
BACKGROUND We evaluated the radiologic and functional outcomes of patients with radial head fractures managed with open reduction and internal fixation. METHODS Between 1998-2003, 15 patients (7 males, 8 females; mean age 34.1; range 18 to 49 years) with radial head fracture were treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Follow-up time was 54.6 months (42-78). Three fractures were Ma...
متن کاملThe Best Option in Treatment of Modified Mason Type III Radial Head Fractures: Open Reduction and Internal Fixation Versus Radial Head Excision
Background: Radial head fractures commonly occur during elbow traumas. Among those, treatment of Mason type IIIfractures is still under controversy. Common treatment methods for these fractures include open reduction and internalfixation (ORIF) as well as radial head excision. In this study, we compared long-term outcomes of both methods intreatment of patients with Mason type III fractures of ...
