Treatment Methods for Fracture of the Radial Head on the Right Side

The humeral head participates in the formation of the elbow joint, enabling rotational function. Therefore, a fracture of the humeral head is an intra-articular fracture. If there is no significant displacement, the fracture can be externally fixed with plaster for 4 to 6 weeks. After removing the plaster, functional exercises are enhanced. If there is significant displacement, an open reduction and internal fixation should be performed to restore anatomical relationships, allowing for early elbow movement and a good recovery of elbow flexion and forearm rotation function. Severe bone fractures can be removed.
