  • Title: Radial head fractures: indications and outcomes for radial head arthroplasty.
    Author: Fowler JR, Goitz RJ.
    Journal: Orthop Clin North Am; 2013 Jul; 44(3):425-31, x. PubMed ID: 23827844.
    Abstract:
    Radial head fractures without associated bony or ligamentous injury can be safely treated with internal fixation, if possible, or arthroplasty if nonreconstructable. However, nonreconstructable radial head fractures in association with elbow dislocation and/or ligamentous injury in the elbow or forearm represent a specific subset of injuries that requires restoration of the radiocapitellar articulation for optimal function. The purpose of this article was to summarize the indications for radial head arthroplasty and discuss the reported outcomes.
