Abstract
Comminuted radial head fractures are disproportionately often accompanied by injuries of the bone or ligaments and can be treated in different ways. 15 patients with a comminuted radial head fracture were treated with an angular stable plate (=G1) and 8 with a MoPyC-prosthesis (=G2)<i>.</i> G1 shows an average Morrey-score of 83,87 points. Complications occurred in 5/15 patients. Within G2 an average Morrey-score of 86 was achieved. Complications could be shown in 2/8 patients. Both the treatment provides a clear individual benefit for the patients and predict promising results for the treatment of comminuted radial head fractures.
