  • Title: Resection of the radial head after Mason type-III fractures of the elbow: follow-up at 16 to 30 years.
    Author: Janssen RP, Vegter J.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 1998 Mar; 80(2):231-3. PubMed ID: 9546450.
    Abstract:
    We reviewed 21 patients with Mason type-III fractures of the radial head treated by resection, evaluating the results at 16 to 30 years by a standard questionnaire and clinical and radiological examination of the elbow and wrist. Seventeen patients had an excellent result, three were good and one fair. Resection of the radial head is a satisfactory method of treatment of such fractures. Prosthetic replacement seems to be indicated only when there is valgus instability of the elbow.
