Abstract
Twenty patients with acute, displaced, radial neck fractures were treated by percutaneous reduction with a periosteal elevator. In all cases acceptable radiographic reduction was achieved, and the reduction position was maintained on serial x-ray examinations with a mean observation period of 3 years. Clinical results were satisfactory in all but one case with slightly limited elbow extension.
