Treatment of comminuted radial head fractures with personalized radial head prosthesis produced with 3-dimensional printing technology.

Background: The radial head is the forearm's pivot point for supination-pronation. Although radial head resection can be performed in comminuted radial head fractures, radial head prosthesis has gained popularity in order to prevent possible complications such as progressive valgus instability in the elbow and secondary ulnocarpal impaction that may develop due to proximal displacement of the radius. As for radial head prostheses, standard prosthetic designs do not provide the same results in everyone, and the alignment of the radial head and radial neck angle cannot be fully achieved.
