title: [Therapy of persistent dislocation of the radius head in children].
abstract: In contrast to the Monteggia-fracture the chronical condition of the luxation of radial capitulum in infants represents a serious clinical problem. Uncertainties concerning the etiology are documented by numerous methods of treatment. Due to the results in 8 infants which were operated on because of persistent luxation of radial capitulum (some of them remained untreated at their parents request) therapy and prognosis of this rare consequence of the injury in infants are to be discussed.
