Purpose We conducted a meta-analysis and systematic review with the primary objective to
determine the overall incidence of radial head prosthesis removal or revision. Our …

Aims The primary aim of this study was to define the standard minimum follow-up required to
produce a reliable estimate of the rate of re-operation after radial head arthroplasty (RHA) …

Background The modular pyrocarbon (MoPyC) radial head prosthesis (Tornier, Saint-Ismier,
France) is a monoblock modular radial head prosthesis. This study assessed midterm …

Purpose Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and radial head arthroplasty (RHA) are
the most common operative treatments in patients with radial head fractures. The purpose of …

Fractures of the radial head account for 33% of elbow fractures. More and more studies have
found that the radial head plays an important role in the normal function of the elbow joint …

Surgical treatment of displaced radial head fractures has evolved from excision of fracture
fragments or the entire head of the radius, to several techniques of open reduction and …

Background Radial head arthroplasty (RHA) is a popular method of treatment for complex
fractures of the radial head. The purpose of this study was to investigate patient outcomes …

Purpose Elbow dislocations with complex elbow instability (CEI) and unstable radial head
fractures require reconstruction by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) if possible or …

Background Whereas most radial head fractures are stable injuries, they sometimes occur
as part of complex injury patterns with associated elbow instability. Radial head arthroplasty …

Since the introduction of the radial head prosthesis (RHP) in 1941, many designs have been
introduced. It is not clear whether prosthesis design parameters are related to early failure …
