Anatomical features of the proximal end of the radius and its implications for implant design

ConclusionsMorphological and morphometric features of the proximal radius are important for prosthesis design and implantation. The ideal radial head prosthesis design is challenging due to numerous parameters, wide ranges and low correlation, although modular designs facilitate compatibility. The widespread use of 3D printing technologies is expected to reduce the potential complications associated with prosthesis applications.
