title: [Long-term results of replacement of the head of the radius with a silastic prosthesis].
abstract: 22 patients after head fracture were treated with replacement of the radial head by a silastic prosthesis. 11 patients were followed up after 91 +/- 48.8 months. The results are good to excellent. Twice a fracture of the prosthesis was detected at control. No prosthetic synovitis occurred in our patients.
