Retrospective observation of complications of radial head replacement

Author(s): Dr. Jairam D Jagiasi and Dr. Abhijit More
Abstract: Background: We wanted to evaluate the complications with the use of Indian radial head prosthesis
Methods: Data from our institute was studied for outcomes with the use of radial head replacement and its complications.
Results: We observed radiocapitellar overstuffing in 2 out of 4 patients. The range of flexion was restricted in one of these patients.
Conclusion: Overstuffing of the radiocapitellar joint may result in pain and restriction of elbow movements.
