Radial head arthropolasty in unreconstructable comminuted fractures  of the radial head: Long-term results and factors influencing the outcome

CONCLUSION: Radial head arthroplasty is an effective treatment option for unreconstructable fractures of the radial head and can provide good to excellent mid-term to long-term results. Sustained elbow dislocation as well as overlengthening of the prosthesis had a negative impact on the clinical outcome.PMID:35076716 | DOI:10.1007/s00113-021-01139-8
