Treating radial head fractures requires restoring humeroradial joint function. Treatment varies from conservative methods to surgery, depending on fracture severity, to achieve optimal elbow stability and function.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Elbow Anatomy

Background:

  • Radial head fractures present a significant challenge in trauma surgery.
  • Restoring humeroradial joint function and stability is crucial for satisfactory outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline individualized treatment concepts for radial head fractures.
  • To discuss the spectrum of treatment options based on fracture classification.

Main Methods:

  • Review of treatment protocols for radial head fractures.
  • Classification of fractures from non-displaced (Mason type I) to comminuted (Mason type III).

Main Results:

  • Treatment strategies range from conservative management to surgical interventions.

  • Options include cast immobilization, open reduction and internal fixation (AO-principles), radial head prosthesis implantation, and resection arthroplasty for severe comminution.

    • Conclusions:

    • An individualized treatment approach is essential for radial head fractures.
    • The choice of treatment depends on fracture severity and aims to fully restore elbow joint function and stability.
