  • Title: Open reduction and internal fixation of radial head fractures associated with olecranon fracture or dislocation.
    Author: Perry CR, Tessier JE.
    Journal: J Orthop Trauma; 1987; 1(1):36-42. PubMed ID: 3506584.
    Abstract:
    Six fracture dislocations or dislocations of the olecranon associated with radial head fractures were treated with open reduction and internal fixation of the radial head. The olecranon was reduced and if fractured (three cases) was internally fixed. Postoperatively, early active range of motion was achieved in all cases. Twelve to 48 months after surgery, there was an average loss of 18 degrees of elbow extension and 56 degrees of forearm rotation. An average of 132 degrees of flexion was maintained. There was no elbow instability or wrist pain.
