Radial Head Prosthesis Removal:a Retrospective Case Series of 14 Patients
Background: The purpose of this study was to report the preoperative complaints and postoperative outcome of patients after removal of the radial head prosthesis. Methods: This is a retrospective review of 14 adult patients (6 females and 8 males) from 2007 to 2011, who underwent radial head prosthesis removal by three surgeons. The average time between implantation and removal was 23 month...
متن کاملRadial head prosthesis: results overview
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Radial head replacement is frequently used in treatment of radial head fractures or sequela. Impossibility to restore a correct anatomy, acute elbow traumatic instability and failure of osteosynthesis hardware are the most common indications. The authors describe their case studies and results on the implantation of various radial head prostheses. MATERIALS Between June 200...
متن کاملHistory of radial head prosthesis in traumatology.
A review of the literature was performed to survey the history of the radial head prosthesis in traumatology. Radial head resection was the treatment of choice before Speed first reconstructed the radial head with a metal prosthesis. Over the years, the indication for the use of a radial head prosthesis changed from the prevention of heterotopic ossification to the prevention of proximal migrat...
متن کاملA floating prosthesis for radial-head fractures.
We report our experience over seven years with a floating radial-head prosthesis for acute fractures of the radial head and the complications which may result from such injury. The prosthesis has an integrated articulation which allows change of position during movement of the elbow. We present the results in 12 patients with a minimum follow-up of two years. Five prostheses had been implanted ...
متن کاملMidterm results with a bipolar radial head prosthesis: radiographic evidence of loosening at the bone-cement interface.
BACKGROUND Metal prostheses are useful for restoring elbow and forearm stability when the radial head cannot be fixed after a fracture. Because the anatomy of the radial head is difficult to reproduce with a prosthesis, two different options have been proposed: a bipolar prosthesis with a fixed stem and a mobile head, and a monoblock prosthesis with a smooth stem that is intentionally fixed loo...
