The shape and size of the radial head is highly variable but correlates to the contralateral side. The radial head is a secondary stabilizer to valgus stress and provides lateral stability. The modified Mason–Hotchkiss classification is the most commonly used and describes three types, depending on the number of fragments and their displacement. Type 1 fractures are typically treated conservatively. Surgical reduction and fixation are recommended for type 2 fractures, if there is a mechanical block to motion. This can be done arthroscopically or open. Controversy exists for two-part fractures with >2 mm and <5 mm displacement, without a mechanical bloc as good results have been published with conservative treatment. Type 3 fractures are often treated with radial head replacement. Although radial head resection is also an option as long-term results have been shown to be favourable. Radial head arthroplasty is recommended in type 3 fractures with ligamentous injury or proximal ulna fractures. Failure of primary radial head replacement may be due to several factors. Identification of the cause of failure is essential. Failed radial head arthroplasty can be treated by implant removal alone, interposition arthroplasty, revision radial head replacement either as a single stage or two-stage procedure.

AbstractTotal elbow arthroplasty is currently an established surgical treatment for several pathologies of the elbow. Although initially used primarily in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, indications for total elbow arthroplasty have expanded and now include trauma, primary and secondary osteoarthritis, fracture nonunion, and following neoplasm resection. Desired outcomes of elbow arthroplasty include decreasing patient pain, restoration of function and mobility, and prevention of or treatment for instability. In comparison with total elbow arthroplasty, radial head replacements are most commonly performed following trauma. An additional technique, capitellar resurfacing arthroplasty, was developed in an effort to prevent early-onset osteoarthritis secondary to altered elbow biomechanics following radial head replacement. Complications of these surgeries include loosening, fracture, instability and dissociation, bushing wear, and particle disease.
