Retrospective observation of complications of radial head replacement

Abstract

Background: We wanted to evaluate the complications with the use of Indian radial head prosthesis Methods: Data from our institute was studied for outcomes with the use of radial head replacement and its complications. Results: We observed radiocapitellar overstuffing in 2 out of 4 patients. The range of flexion was restricted in one of these patients. Conclusion: Overstuffing of the radiocapitellar joint may result in pain and restriction of elbow movements.
