The radial head is the small part of this bone near the elbow. This bone may break (fracture) during sports or a fall. It may happen when your arm is hit or is used to protect you in a fall. Fractures can range from a small, hairline crack to a bone that is broken into two or more pieces.

What is radial shaft fracture?

Definition: A fracture of the radial shaft with disruption of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ). The fracture is usually in the distal third of the radial shaft, just proximal to the pronator quadratus. DRUJ instability is due to disruption of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC).

Radial head fractures can be subtle and easily missed on radiographs. It is important to assess the radiograph for a joint effusion and where one exists, to take extra care in the assessment of the radial head.

What is radial neck fracture?

Radial neck fractures 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 dislocation and subsequent manual reduction of the elbow joint.

How long does a radial head fracture take to heal?
