A clinico-radiological study of radial head replacement vs excision in comminuted radial head fractures

Abstract

Introduction: Treatment options for intra-articulation region dislodgement and angulation that cannot be operated easily have not been well characterized. Similarly, there is no consensus on how to treat fractures of Mason types III and IV. Material and Methods: SPSS, Microsoft excel and Statkingdom soft wares were used for calculating the p-values and t-values in the experimental analysis. Theory: More than three pieces have been observed to lead to worse fixation outcomes and an increased risk of complications. Patients with complicated elbow injuries are recommended to have radial head arthroplasty, which aims to recreate the native head. Results: The p-value and the t-test values of the prosthetic treatment of the radial bone group are more significant than the head excision of the radial bone group. Conclusion: The patients in the head region radial bone prosthetics replacement group fared better in terms of function after 1, 6, and 12 months after surgery, compared to those in a head excision of radial bone group.
