| pubmed-article:1976857 | pubmed:abstractText | Authors report on experiences in using radius head prosthesis on the basis of early follow-ups. The operation is performed in cases of closed, comminuted fractures of the radial head if the fracture is irreponable on the basis of X-ray and intraoperative findings. Controls until now have shown excellent functional results. Based on literary data they describe the possibilities of late complications after using silicone prosthesis. The number of patients and the short time elapsed after operations does not allow far-reaching conclusions yet. A description of the use of radius head prosthesis in traumatology was not found in the Hungarian literature. | lld:pubmed |
