Computed Tomography Analysis of the Relationship Between the Coronoid and the Radial Head

The coronoid process is an important stabilizer of the elbow, and its anatomy has been extensively studied. However, data is limited documenting the relationship of the coronoid relative to the radial head (RH). The latter is a good landmark for the surgeon when debriding or reconstructing the coronoid. This imaging-based study quantifies the anatomic relationship between the coronoid and the proximal radius and ulna.
