- Discussion:
- long-term result for
excision of "isolated" radial head frx w/ competent
MCL and
interosseous membrane are predictably good;
- however, if frx is associated w/ disruption
MCL radial head excision is
contraindicated;
- instead, consider use of silastic or metallic radial head prosthesis to
serve as temporary spacer following repair of the
MCL and
flexor-pronator mass;
