title: [Resection of radial head for traumatological indication.].
abstract: Authors evaluate a group of 35 patients who underwent in the period 1987-1996 a resection of radial head for traumatological indication. They review the results after an early resection in 16 patients, 81 % of which are without complaints. Late resection in 19 patients significantly increased the range of motion and in 75 % it contributed to easing of pain. In the conclusion the authors emphasize the difficult indication of an early and late resection. Key words: injury of elbow, fractures of radial head, resection of radial head.
