“…Whether ulnohumeral degeneration is delayed due to a smaller load shift in proximal radial osteotomy compared to radial head resection does not exclude that a previous healthy ulnohumeral articulation is now prone to developing osteoarthritis. Furthermore, Hackl et al [2] showed that valgus stress will be less after a 2.5‐mm shortening osteotomy compared to radial head resection, likely reducing the chance of tardy ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), subsequent valgus instability and medial elbow pain complaints. However, it remains a fact that valgus strain will increase and may cause tardy UCL elongation and elbow valgisation in the long run.…”
