Surgical exposures for complex injuries about the elbow are technically demanding
because of the high density of neurologic, vascular, and ligamentous elements around the …

The radial head articulates with the humerus at the radiocapitellar articulation and with the
ulnar sigmoid notch at the proximal radioulnar articulation. The radiocapitellar articulation …

Purpose We had evaluated our experience in the treatment of displaced and comminuted
radial head fractures with pyrocarbon radial head prosthesis. Methods From May 2003 to …

Background: The posterior interosseous nerve is at risk for iatrogenic injury during surgery
involving the proximal aspect of the radius. Anatomic relationships of this nerve in skeletally …

Object The authors report data in 45 surgically treated posterior interosseous nerve (PIN)
entrapments or injuries. Methods Forty-five PIN entrapments or injuries were managed …

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the complete visible surface area of the
radial head, neck, and coronoid in the Kaplan and Kocher approaches to the lateral elbow …

Multiple neurovascular structures may be at risk during injuries or procedures about the
elbow joint. An appreciation of the complex anatomy of the region, the appropriate …

PURPOSE: The extensor digitorum communis (EDC) splitting approach is a direct lateral
approach that can provide greater visualization of the proximal radius than the posterolateral …

Epidemiology Radial head fractures constitute 3% of all fractures, making them the most
common fracture of the elbow in adults1, 2. A retrospective epidemiological study from the …

Aim. Transpedicular screw fixation is widely used in spinal surgery. But the insertion of
pedicle screws can sometimes be challenging because of the variability in pedicle size and …
