Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Trauma Care

Background:

  • Radial head fractures are common elbow injuries.
  • Complications can arise from both the injury and traditional treatments.
  • Existing treatments may not fully restore elbow function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of a novel floating radial-head prosthesis.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of this prosthesis in treating acute and sequelae radial head fractures.
  • To compare the functional results with previous treatments.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 12 patients treated with a floating radial-head prosthesis.
  • Minimum two-year follow-up.
  • Assessment of functional outcomes using a modified Broberg and Morrey score.

Main Results:

  • All 12 prostheses performed well.
  • Significant improvement in functional scores was observed.
  • No complications associated with silicone radial-head replacements were reported.
  • Successful outcomes in both early and delayed treatment scenarios.

Conclusions:

  • The floating radial-head prosthesis is a viable option for acute and delayed treatment of Mason type-III fractures.
  • This prosthesis offers improved function and a favorable safety profile.
  • Further research may support its use in more complex radial head injuries.
