The management of fractures of the radial head is still a controversial subject. Fifty cases of radial head fractures have been treated by conservative means. These cases were immobilized in a plaster of Paris cylinder cast for 3 weeks to restrict the movement of flexion and extension at the elbow, while encouraging supination and pronation movements from the very beginning. The cases have been evaluated and 43/50 have shown excellent results.Downloads
