Orthopaedics and Trauma, 03/27/07
J.W.K. Harrison, et al. - The radial head is involved in both elbow flexion and extension as well as forearm rotation and is an important stabiliser of the elbow. Fractures account for one-third of elbow fractures in adults and can lead to marked disability...In comminuted fractures with an intact MCL where fixation is not possible excision gives satisfactory long-term results. If instability is present radial length should be restored either by ORIF or replacement and any associated bony or ligamentous injuries repaired to allow early mobilisation to prevent stiffness
