What is a radial head and neck fracture?

radial head or neck (elbow) Fracture Clinic Patient Information Leaflet Your injury A fracture is the same as a break in the bone. You have a suspected or a confirmed fracture of the upper end of your radius near the elbow. The radius is one of the bones in your forearm. This is a common fracture.

What is radial neck?

The radial neck is the constriction distal to the head. The radial tuberosity is an oval prominence distal to the neck on the medial aspect, which delineates the proximal end (head and neck) of the radius from the shaft. The elbow is radiographed in AP and lateral projections.

What causes radial head fractures?

There are three categories of radial head fractures:

• Type 1: No displacement (separation) of the bone
• Type 2: A simple break with displacement
• Type 3: A comminuted fracture (many pieces)

Is the radial neck intra articular?

Radial Head Fractures are common intra-articular elbow fractures that can be associated with an episode of elbow instability, a mechanical block to elbow motion, an injury to the distal radioulnar joint and/or to the interosseous membrane (Essex-Lopresti).

What is radial neck fracture?

Radial neck fractures are uncommon and account for 8% of all elbow fractures in children. The most common mechanism is a fall onto the outstretched arm with a valgus stress at the elbow. They can also occur as a result of a posterior dislocation or reduction of the elbow joint. !

What is proximal radius fracture?

Proximal radius fractures include fractures of the proximal portion of the radius including the radial neck and head. They are often associated with other injuries including olecranon fractures, elbow dislocations, medial epicondyle fractures and ulna shaft fractures.

Where is the neck of the radius?

Neck of radius - Collum radii The neck of the radius is a slender region at the proximal end of the radius between the head and the body of radius.

What is the radial head and neck?

The radial head and neck comprise the most proximal portion of the radius (figure 1 and figure 2 and figure 3). The radial head lies at the proximal end. It is disk-shaped with a flattened end that articulates with the capitellum of the humerus proximally.

Is the radial head part of the elbow?

The radial head is at the top of the radius bone, just below your elbow. A fracture is a break in your bone. The most common cause of a radial head fracture is falling with an outstretched arm.

Is the radial head proximal or distal?

The radial head is the proximal articular surface of the radius and prone to dislocation in childhood and fracture in adults. It is palpable on the lateral side of the elbow, immediately distal to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus.

Where is the radial head located?

The radial head is at the top of the radius bone, just below your elbow. A fracture is a break in your bone. The most common cause of a radial head fracture is falling with an outstretched arm.

What is the right radius?

The radius is part of two joints: the elbow and the wrist. At the elbow, it joins with the capitulum of the humerus, and in a separate region, with the ulna at the radial notch. At the wrist, the radius forms a joint with the ulna bone....Radius (bone)RadiusFMA23463Anatomical terms of bone7 more rows

What is the difference between a displaced and nondisplaced fracture?

Displaced Fracture: bone breaks into two or more pieces and moves out of alignment. Non-Displaced Fracture: the bone breaks but does not move out of alignment. Closed Fracture: the skin is not broken.

What is a radius bone?

The radius is one of the two bones that make up the forearm, the other being the ulna. It forms the radio-carpel joint at the wrist and the radio-ulnar joint at the elbow. It is in the lateral forearm when in the anatomical position. It is the smaller of the two bones.
