Background: Revision rates following radial head arthroplasty (RHA) for unreconstructible radial head fractures (RHFs) differ vastly in the literature, and little is known about the risk factors that are associated with revision surgery. The purposes of this study were to assess the revision rate following RHA and to determine the associated risk factors.
Methods: A total of 122 patients (mean age, 50.
Background: The purposes of this study were (1) to report functional outcomes; (2) to assess complications, revisions, and survival rate; and (3) to assess differences in functional outcomes between removed and retained radial head arthroplasties (RHAs), early and delayed treatment, and type of RHA used at long-term follow-up after monopolar RHA for unreconstructible radial head fractures or their sequelae.
Methods: Seventy-eight patients (mean age, 59.2 years) who were at least 6 years postoperatively after monopolar RHA for unreconstructible RHFs or their sequelae were included.
Background: The aim of the study was to analyze the functional and radiological outcome of Monteggia-like lesions in adults with unreconstructible fracture of the radial head and treatment with radial head arthroplasty.
Methods: Twenty-seven patients (mean age 56 years; range 36 to 79 years) with a Monteggia-like lesion and treatment with radial head replacement were included in this retrospective study. Minimum follow-up was 2 years.
Background: The aim of this study was to analyze sports participation after radial head arthroplasty among recreational athletes.
Methods: A total of 57 recreational athletes (mean age, 49 years; age range, 18-79 years) treated with radial head arthroplasty for non-reconstructible radial head fractures were included in this retrospective study. The return-to-sports rate and the time to return to sports were analyzed.
