Comparative StudyScrew fixation versus arthroplasty versus plate fixation for 3-part radial head fractures.
To compare the outcome following headless compression screw fixation versus radial head arthroplasty versus plate fixation for 3-part Mason types III or IV radial head fracture. ⋯ Headless compression screw fixation is a viable option for 3-part radial head fracture. It achieves earlier bone union with fewer complications.
