Abstract:
At present, treatment for chronic radial head dislocation mainly focus on open reduction, and conservative treatment is invalid. While the surgical procedure generally applies to extend ulnar, short radial, reset radial head. Repair or reconstruction of annular ligament is the focus of study. For the dysfunction, radial head resection served as the final choice. Early diagnosis is the key to the treatment of chronic radial head dislocation. While ulnar or radial osteotomy and non-reconstruction of annular ligament is still the main trend of today.
