Study on clinical efficiency of two different surgical treatments in Mason II,III radial head fracture

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy between radial head resection and open reduction combined with internal miniature plate fixation in MasonⅡ,Ⅲradial head fractures.Methods 32cases were divided into the traditional radial head resection group(conventional group)and open reduction combined with internal miniature plate fixation group(experimental group),16cases in each group.The datas about the elbow VAS,Broberg and Morrey functional score,activity and X-ray performance of patients before surgery and after surgery were collected and compared between two groups.Results There was no significant difference about the indicators refferenced above in two groups of patients on preoperative(P0.05).After surgery,VAS,function score and range of motion were significantly improved in both groups(P0.05),and the degree of improvement in the experimental group was significantly better than the traditional group(P0.05);Bone healing time,complication rates in experimental group was lower than traditional group(P0.05).Conclusion Compared with with radial head resection,open reduction combined with internal fixation obtained satisfactory clinical efficacy and better joint function recovery and prognosis in treatment on MasonⅡ-Ⅲradial head fractures.
