Abstract:
Objective To investigate the treatment of radi us head fracture through internal fi xation.Methods 42cases of radius head fracture trea ted with internal fixation were foll owed up.Mason classification and Broberg and Morrey criteria were use d to analyze the correlation between the results and the factors of fractu re type and method of fixation.Results42cases were followed up for a mean time of 25months.Evaluation was done according to Broberg and Morrey score systems.The function recovered we ll in 76%of the cases.The results of minor plate group were better than th ose of the screw(P=0.01)or K wire group(P=0.04).The results of Mason typeⅡwere better than those of the typeⅣ(P=0.03).Conclusion Treatment of radius head fracture with internal fixation will improve the elbow function and has better result for Mason typeⅡ.Fixation with minor plate is better than with screw or K wi re.[
