title: Fractures of the radial head in the geriatric patient: case report.
abstract: Fractures of the radial head and neck occur frequently. Although reports in the literature advocate both operative and nonoperative modes of treatment, the trend is toward the nonoperative approach. In many instances this yields results that are comparable, if not superior, to those obtained by surgical intervention-as in the 62-year-old man who is the subject of the case report.
