Outcome of Radial Head Arthroplasty in Comminuted Radial Head Fractures: Short and Midterm Results.

Background: Comminuted radial head fractures are often associated with secondary injuries and elbow instability.

Objectives: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate how well the modular metallic radial head implant EVOLVE® prosthesis restores functional range of motion (ROM) and stability of the elbow in acute care.

Patients And Methods: Eighty-five patients with comminuted radial head fractures and associated injuries received treatment with an EVOLVE® prosthesis between May 2001 and November 2009.
