Radial neck fracture reduction and internal fixation

In addition to the humerus and radial joints, the radial head and the humerus small head also form the upper ulnar and radial joints with the ulna, both of which have a rotation function. For example, a radial neck fracture results in angular displacement, which can not only cause rotational dysfunction, but also cause traumatic arthritis. Therefore, if the displacement exceeds 30 ° ~ 60 °, the manual reset fails, or the Kirschner needle is used to pry the failed reset under X-ray fluoroscopy, and the open reset should be performed.
