| Popis: | Highlights • Three case of radial head fracture treated with radial head arthroplasty. • Evaluation of the functional outcomes after operative treatment of radial head arthroplasty. • Functional outcomes assessment with active and passive range of motion. • Satisfying result on pain and a fair result on functional outcome on patient follow-up. • Good follow up is important to minimize the complications of radial head arthroplasty. Introduction Radial head arthroplasty (RHA) has become one of the mainstay surgical treatment for radial head fracture in certain conditions. Many previous studies compared the superiority of either open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and RHA with inconclusive result. Our case series aim to evaluate the functional outcome of the patients treated with RHA in our institution. Presentation of case We evaluated three patients who had RHA in 2018 and 2019. The function of flexion, extension, supination and pronation of the elbow was evaluated. The range of motion (ROM) was assessed in both active and passive way. Discussion An abundant of literatures stated that RHA result is superior than radial head resection and ORIF. Our case series present a satisfying result on pain and a fair result on functional outcome from the range of motion (ROM) evaluation on patient follow-up. Conclusion A good follow up for post-operative care plays an important role in management of RHA to minimize the rate of complications. In this case series, the functional outcomes after RHA is good, but a larger number of patient and longer follow up duration is needed for a better analysis. |
