The Prevalence of Chronic Interosseous Membrane Lesions Following Mason II and III Radial Head Fractures in Complex Elbow Instability—A Retrospective Observational Cohort Study
Chronic cbIOM lesions are very rare in CEI with RH fractures. No patients in this large sample displayed a cbIOM complete lesion; in cases with increased laxity, satisfactory mid-term clinical results were observed. Considering that previous studies reported (1) a high prevalence of cbIOM lesions in patients with Mason II and III RH fractures and (2) the current expert opinion about the scarce healing potential of the cbIOM, this study also suggests that the IOM may heal better than previously believed when RH fractures are treated appropriately in the acute setting.
