Radial Head Fractures
Treatment of Radial Head Fractures
Usually a sling and range-of-motion exercises Rarely surgical repair Fractures with minimal displacement and no restriction of passive elbow motion or instability can be treated with a sling, which can be applied for comfort with the elbow flexed 90°. Elbow range-of-motion exercises should be started as soon as patients can tolerate them. If the elbow is unstable or motion is mechanically blocked, fractures are treated surgically.
