Open Reduction for Pediatric Radial Head Fracture: Two Cases Report

並列摘要


Radial head and neck fractures account for 1% of all pediatric fractures. Higher risk of complications have been widely reported in those treated with open reduction. Therefore, close or percutaneous reduction are favored for most of the pediatric radial head and neck fracture. However, open reduction to achieve anatomical reduction is still valuable for those fractures with severe displacement or angulation, and internal fixation is unnecessary when reduction is stable. We could decrease surgical-related complications by minimal dissection and avoid soft tissue injury and periosteum stripping. Early progressive static motion after operation is also critical in post-operation care. We present two cases of pediatric radial head fracture treated with open reduction without internal fixation, which resulted in excellent function.
