Functional outcome of arthroscopic radial head excision
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Seven cases of arthroscopic radial head excision were followed up and their functional outcome evaluated. In this series, there appeared to be a significant improvement in the functional range of movements and pain scores at rest and during work. There were no complications. Arthroscopic radial head excision is a safe procedure with a good functional outcome. A final conclusion can be drawn only from evaluating a large series of cases.

Radiographic Predictors for Short-term Functional Outcome after Radial Head Arthroplasty in Patients with Persistent Symptoms after Treatment for Radial Head
Background: Evaluation of the accurate position after radial head arthroplasty remains a challenge for surgeons.Standard radiographs are used to evaluate the position of the implant, however, results regarding radiographicdeficiencies on clinical outcome are not consistent. In this retrospective study our main aim was to determine if subtleradiographic deficiencies after radia...

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 ...

متن کاملManagement of post-traumatic elbow instability after failed radial head excision: A case report
Radial head excision has always been a safe commonly used surgical procedure with a satisfactory clinical outcome for isolated comminuted radial head fractures. However, diagnosis of elbow instability is still very challenging and often underestimated in routine orthopaedic evaluation. We present the case of a 21-years old female treated with excision after radial head fracture, resulting in el...
