Background: The aim of this study was to compare the complete visible surface area of the radial head, neck, and coronoid in the Kaplan and Kocher approaches to the lateral elbow. The hypothesis was that the Kaplan approach would afford greater visibility due to the differential anatomy of the intermuscular planes. Methods: Ten cadavers were dissected with the Kaplan and Kocher approaches, and the visible surface area was measured in situ using a 3-dimensional digitizer. Six measurements were taken for each approach by 2 surgeons, and the mean of these measurements were analyzed. Results: The mean surface area visible with the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) preserved in the Kaplan approach was 616.6 mm2 in comparison with the surface area of 136.2 mm2 visible in the Kocher approach when the LCL was preserved. Using a 2-way analysis of variance, the difference between these 2 approaches was statistically significant. When the LCL complex was incised in the Kocher approach, the average visible surface area of the Kocher approach was 456.1 mm2 and was statistically less than the Kaplan approach. The average surface area of the coronoid visible using a proximally extended Kaplan approach was 197.8 mm2. Conclusions: The Kaplan approach affords significantly greater visible surface area of the proximal radius than the Kocher approach.

Initial Fracture

In a case of a neglected radial neck fracture in childhood, the management of initial fracture and its complications are subjected to discussion. In children, open reduction should be avoided but an angulation less than 30° must be obtained. Several techniques exist to manage symptomatic malunion in adults, including resection, prosthesis, and osteotomy. When performing an osteotomy, it is important first to preserve an intact osseous hinge to avoid avascular necrosis and second to align the edge of the radial head articular surface with the lateral edge of the coronoid process, in order to avoid overstuffing elbow joint.

Introduction: Radial neck fracture is one of the rare traumas in the upper extremity among the children accounting for 5%-10% of the pediatric elbow injuries. The valgus strain-induced radial neck displacement often ranges from 10° to 90. Rotational displacement with 180° rotation is very rare. Case Presentation: In this case report, we present a 6-year-old child who had radial neck fracture with 180 rotation and joint surface tilt toward the distal direction after falling on her outstretched hand. The close reduction was conducted under the fluoroscopic guide and the radial neck-shaft was restored with 15 angulation. The elbow was immobilized by a long forearm cast for 3 weeks. Based on conventional radiography taken after 3 weeks, a complete union was achieved. Six-month follow-up showed no radial growth disturbance and radial head avascular necrosis. Conclusions: The radial head could be displaced in the form of 180° rotation during the radial neck fracture. In this regard, careful attention to the joint surface is important to minimize the lateral displacements or angulation and to avoid any misdiagnosis. The closed reduction was a successful treatment and caused no complications.
