Percutaneous reduction of proximal radius fracture in adults. A 12-case series.
Fractures of the head or neck of the radius account for 5% of elbow fractures in adults. Treatment varies between authors. We report a retrospective series of 12 cases of percutaneous reduction of Mason II radial head fracture, without internal fixation. All fractures consolidated, without secondary displacement. There were no postoperative complications. Mean ranges of motion were 136° flexion-extension and 175° pronation-supination. Mean QuickDASH score was 11. Results in the present series were at least comparable to those for other techniques, validating percutaneous treatment as a solution for radial head fracture.



Case series.
