The overall outcome was rated with the functional rating score described by Radin and Riseborough and Broberg and Morrey, and pain was measured with VAS. Outcomes were evaluated on the basis of pain, range of motion, radiographic findings, and grip strength measured with the Jamar Dynamometer. Fifty-nine percent of patients had associated injuries of the affected elbow. The average age was 48 years and the gender relationship was 2:3 (w:m). Thirty-seven patients were available for follow-up.
Materials and Methods: Between June 2001 and January 2006, 41 reconstructive surgical procedures were executed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in the treatment of radial head fractures. Especially problematic is the treatment of dislocated and unstable fractures which often have a worst prognosis.
