Abstract
We reviewed the results of early radial head resection in 15 patients after fracture of the radial head or neck: 4 Mason's type II fractures and 11 Mason's type III fractures. The average age at operation was 41 years and the patients were reexamined after mean 10 (3-18) years. Only 5 patients had no pain and all patients had reduced elbow power, in several of them a substantial loss.Keywords
