Abstract:
Introduction  The objectives of this study were to assess long-term outcomes, complications, and reoperations after open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of radial head fractures. Materials and Methods  35 adult patients, who underwent ORIF of an isolated, displaced radial head fracture without elbow instability (Mason classification type II or III) at two tertiary care referral centers from 2000 to 2017, were identified. Patient satisfaction, pain, and QuickDASH scores were assessed by telephone follow-up at median 12.9 years. Results  The mean age of the 35 patients in our study was 39 years, and 54% were women. The median length of clinical follow-up was 175 days. Postoperative complications occurred in 54% of patients, and reoperations in 23% of patients. Multivariable logistic regression identified fixation with plate and screws versus screws alone as a risk factor for complications and reoperations. The long-term telephone follow-up response rate was 54%. At 13-year median follow-up, the average patient satisfaction was 9.6/10, the average patient-reported pain was 0.7/10, and the average QuickDASH score was 10.5. Conclusion  The long-term outcomes of ORIF of Mason classification type II and III radial head fractures are favorable; however, rates of complication and reoperation are notable and may be higher with plate-and-screw fixation.
