Radiuskopf

Zusammenfassung

Radiuskopffrakturen und deren Folgen können zu deutlichen Beeinträchtigungen der Ellenbogenfunktion führen. Der Radiuskopf sollte primär möglichst erhalten und rekonstruiert werden. Eine Radiuskopfresektion ohne Rekonstruktion wird heute nicht mehr empfohlen. Heute ist bei nicht rekonstruierbaren Radiuskopffrakturen die Implantation einer Radiuskopfprothese die Therapie der Wahl. Bei der Implantation ist die Längeneinstellung und die Ausrichtung des Radiuskopfes von großer Bedeutung. Die Kriterien für eine exakte Längeneinstellung werden ausführlich dargestellt.

Abstract

Radial head fractures and their consequences can lead to severe impairment of the elbow function. The radial head should be preserved as far as possible and reconstructed. Radial head resection without reconstruction is not recommended today. Currently, the implantation of a radial head prosthesis is the therapy of choice for non-reconstructable radial head fractures. During implantation, length adjustment and orientation of the radial head are of great importance. The criteria for an exact length adjustment are shown in detail.
