Relationship between the tilt angle of bipolar radial head prostheses and radiological radiocapitellar instability.

CONCLUSION: Evidence from this study has demonstrated a strong positive correlation between the tilt angle of bipolar radial head prostheses and radiocapitellar instability. The tilt angle can be used as an indicator of radiocapitellar joint instability following bipolar radial head prostheses.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, Diagnostic study.
