Abstract

Radial head fractures are common following traumatic injuries to the elbow. They may occur in isolation or associated with several complex injuries of the elbow. The Mason classification is commonly used to classify radial head fractures. Treatment of isolated nondisplaced radial head fractures is often nonoperative. Operative treatment involved radial head resection, open reduction and internal fixation, or radial head arthroplasty.
