BACKGROUND: In the presence of additional disruption of the distal radioulnar ligaments, the interosseous membrane, or the lateral- and/or medial collateral ligament, radial head fractures treated by resection will result in valgus elbow instability, proximal radial migration and/or posterolateral rotatory instability. Radial head replacement has been used to treat or prevent this. We report our experience with the Judet CRF II radial head prosthesis.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: We treated 11 patients with a bipolar radial head prosthesis because of elbow instability after previous treatment for Mason-Johnston type III or IV radial head fractures. The outcome was assessed clinically using two standardized elbow function assessment scales, and radiographically after a mean follow-up of 2 years.
RESULTS: Clinical outcome was either good or excellent in all patients; all elbows were stable. Radiographically, there were no signs of loosening, fracture or heterotopic ossification. 2 patients required reoperation for subluxation of the prosthesis; both were treated by reducing the size of the modular head of the prosthesis. There was erosion of the capitellum in 1 patient.
INTERPRETATION: Bipolar radial head replacement can be used successfully for treatment of the sequelae of radial head fractures. The long-term outcome is, however, unknown.
