    AbstractGuidelines for the choice of conservative or operative treatment of fractures of the proximal radius are derived from a study comprising 21 children. Postoperative complications and long-term failures are specifically stressed. True intraarticular fractures of the radial head are rarely observed in children. Major problems arise in the treatment of comminuted fractures of the radial head associated with dislocation of the elbow, since these show the worst prognosis. Displaced marginal fractures below 3 mm are suited for early functional treatment using conservative procedures. 18 patients suffered a fracture of the radial neck type III and IV (Judet). Despite low failure rates of the operative therapy, we have recently been refraining from the operation.
