Good outcomes of bipolar radial head arthroplasty for comminuted radial head fractures
Comminuted radial head fractures in elbow injuries involving a comminuted radial head fracture can be successfully treated with bipolar radial head arthroplasty. Although radiological changes are frequently observed during follow-up, they do not seem to impact clinical outcomes, and therefore should not be the primary indication for revision surgeries.
