“…It is generally agreed that type I fractures can be successfully treated non operatively with early mobilization (11)(12)(13)(14)(15). For Mason type III fractures potential treatment modalities include open reduction and internal fixation, radial head excision, or radial head replacement (16)(17)(18)(19) head excision after failure of conservative treatment (20,21).…”

BACKGROUND:The radial head is essential for the rotational stability of the forearm and resistance to valgus stress. Radial head fractures are the most common elbow fracture in adults. Various treatment options are available, depending on the fracture severity. However, the treatment of Type-III fractures is controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate functional results in patients with irreparable Mason Type-III radial head fractures treated with radial head resection or prosthesis.

“…Radial head fractures usually result from a fall onto the outstretched hand with the elbow extended and forearm pronated [5] . Axial, valgus and postero-lateral rotational patterns of loading are responsible for these fractures [3] . The radial head plays an important role in elbow stability.…”

AIM:The purpose of this systematic review was to search for and critically appraise articles directly comparing functional outcomes and complications for fixation (ORIF) versus arthroplasty for comminuted radial head fractures (Mason type 3) in adults. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A comprehensive search of Medline, Embase and Cochrane databases using specific search terms and limits was conducted. Strict eligibility criteria were applied to stringently screen resultant articles. Three comparative studies were identified and reviewed. RESULTS: Two studies found significantly better functional scores after replacement compared with ORIF in Mason type 3 fractures. The third study found no significant differences in functional score or range of motion, but did find that grip strength was better after ORIF. Complication rates were too heterogenous for conclusion. issn.2311-5106.2016.03.164 International Journal of Orthopaedics considered if this is not possible. Further randomised comparative trials are required to clarify the decision-making between fixation and replacement. Functional outcomes and complications were conflicting in the studies included here. Ideally, treatment decision should take into account elbow stability and degree of comminution.
