Abstract:
Radial neck fractures are frequent lesions in the developing elbow. For important angular displacement higher than 60 degrees, there are several alternative treatments. We present an unpublished technique of reduction with arthroscopic assistance and percutaneous stabilization that allows one to perform direct pressure to the radial head, better intra-articular evaluation, reduction control, with minimal soft tissue lesion, and reduce the need for intraoperative fluoroscopy.
