Popis: PurposeThe retrospective study reviewed the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients treated with radiocapitellar joint plasty.Methods10 children with missed Monteggia fracture (MMF) were reviewed. The average time from injury to operation was 20 months. The average age of children who underwent the operation was 10.5 years. 6 flat and 4 domed radial heads were included. 7 type I and 3 type III MMF were identified based on the Bado classification. All children with MMF were treated by open radial head reduction with radiocapitellar joint plasty and ulnar osteotomy (UO).ResultsThe average union time was 4.9 ± 2.6 months. The average osteotomy angle to reduce the radial head was 15.7 ± 3.5°, and the average lengthening of the ulna was 8.2 ± 3.2 mm. The average preoperative flexion range of motion was 110.5 ± 9.1°, and the postoperative flexion range of motion was 138.8 ± 15.1° (p 0.05). The average preoperative supination range of motion was 68.3 ± 9.7°, and the postoperative supination range of motion was 80.1 ± 7.8° (p
