  • Title: Radial head arthroplasty.
    Author: Kleiner MT, Ilyas AM, Jupiter JB.
    Journal: Acta Chir Orthop Traumatol Cech; 2010 Feb; 77(1):7-12. PubMed ID: 20214854.
    Abstract:
    In conclusion, radial head fractures with 3 or more fragments have a high incidence of complications when treated with ORIF including hardware failure, malunion, nonunion, and the need for re-operation. Radial head arthroplasty has demonstrated good success in the treatment of complex, comminuted radial head fractures which are not amenable to non-opeative treatment or ORIF. Success can be optimized by diligent surgical dissection, avoiding inadvertent nerve injury, placement of an appropriately sized implant, repair of associated injuries, and early protected motion.
