Abstract | Intraarticular radial head (IARH) fractures are uncommon pediatric injuries with unpredictable yet poor outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes of IARH fractures in pediatric and adolescent patients, by testing our hypothesis that surgically managed fractures would have less risk for an unplanned second surgery and better elbow range of motion at the final follow-up. A retrospective review of 53 IARH fractures was performed. Demographic and clinical data were recorded. Concomitant and associated injuries were documented. Initial management and any attempted reduction in the emergency room were documented. The primary outcome was the need for an unplanned second procedure. Motion at final follow-up, presence of pain and need for physical therapy were reviewed. Radiographs were carefully reviewed and analyzed for physeal status, displacement, angulation and percent of radial head involved. We rejected our hypothesis, however, because it was displaced fractures that tended to require an unplanned change in treatment at a higher rate than nondisplaced fractures, regardless of index management with or without surgery. Fracture displacement on the lateral radiograph was a significant risk factor compared to the anterior-posterior images, and younger patients, particularly those with open physis, were at higher risk of an unplanned second procedure. Moreover, 80% of displaced fractures had asymmetric elbow motion after healing was achieved. It is important to counsel patients and families regarding the potential for suboptimal outcomes and elbow stiffness regardless of treatment choice, in the setting of an initially displaced IARH fracture. Level of evidence: Level III. |
