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...
متن کاملBilateral Radial Head Fracture: A Case Report
Isolated radial head fracture constitutes about 20% of all acute elbow injuries. Bilateral fracture of radial head is a rare entity. We report a case of bilateral symmetrical Mason type I radial head fracture. Patient was treated non-operatively, the MEPS being excellent on both sides at 12 weeks. The patient was followed up for one year.
متن کاملRadial head fracture. A potentially complex injury.
A prospective study was undertaken on 50 acute, consecutive fractures of the radial head. Clinical examination and stress testing were performed on each patient. A valgus stress radiograph, in conjunction with clinical stress testing, was used to assess competence of the medial elbow ligaments. Axial stability of the radius was determined by the axial stress test. Eleven patients (22%) sustaine...
متن کاملUlnar fracture with late radial head dislocation: delayed Monteggia fracture.
Monteggia fractures are rare but commonly discussed lesions, with increasing complications due to late diagnosis. This article describes a case of a Monteggia fracture with delayed dislocation of the radial head. Previous radiographs of a 2-year 8-month-old boy show complete fracture of the distal ulna, with no radial head dislocation. The radial head remained well positioned after 4 weeks. Sev...
متن کاملFracture Dislocation of the Radial Head: Radial head excision or replacement?
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 debate regarding the optimal treatment for these fractures.
