Meanings of radial head in English

I fractured the radial head and through the ulna in the joint.

It secures the radial head in its normal position from any dislocated position.

This might be due to altered kinematics after radial head arthroplasty.

Complex radial head fracture and elbow instability can be treated with radial head arthroplasty.

Eight human native elbows were examined with dynamic radiostereometric analysis and compared with a radial head arthroplasty.

Conclusion: On-table reconstruction and fixation of comminuted radial head fractures using low profile plates is a reasonable option.

This suggests that a radial head implant should taper from proximal to distal to optimize contact at the RNU.

Translations of the radial head in the x-, y-, and z-directions relative to the humerus and the ulna were measured.

We describe a new procedure for the management of chronic posttraumatic radial head dislocation, which uses two drill holes in the proximal ulna.

Methods: We reviewed 6 patients of Mason type III radial head fractures treated by on-table reconstruction technique between 2011 and 2013.

After radial head arthroplasty, the radial head was displaced approximately 1.8 mm medially and 1.4 mm distally at the starting point.

Radial head fractures, as is the case here, are fairly common in the general population.
