Arthroplasty for the Treatment of Radial Head Fractures: Indications and Current Techniques

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Arthroplasty for the Treatment of Fractures in the Older Patient

Abstract

Radial head arthroplasty remains a good treatment option for fractures not amenable to fixation. Several variations exist in technique and implant type. This review discusses the insertion techniques, implant types available, and literature outcomes associated with radial head arthroplasty.
