Radial head replacement using personalized 3D printed porous tantalum prosthesis
Fractures of the radial head account for 33% of elbow fractures. More and more studies have found that the radial head plays an important role in the normal function of the elbow joint, and many complications will occur after resection of the radial head.

Management of chronic Monteggia lesion with severe radial head deformity using ulnar osteotomy, radial head replacement and ligament repair: A technical note [PDF]
Chronic Monteggia lesions are difficult to treat when longstanding radial head dislocation results in severe radial head deformity. In such cases, corrective ulnar osteotomy with or without annular ligament repair may not achieve stable or congruent ...

Radial head replacement with intact lateral ulnar collateral ligament vs. repair and augmentation using nonabsorbable tape and anchors: a pragmatic comparative study [PDF]
Background: Rupture of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL), particularly in cases of complex radial head fractures, can occur in up to 80% of cases.

Retrospective review of pyrocarbon radial head replacement
Background: Radial head arthroplasty is the preferred surgical management for complex, unreconstructable radial head fractures. There has been increasing use of pyrocarbon prostheses, with potential tribology and modulus advantages over metallic ...

Hawkins Award 2025: clinical implications of radiological findings associated with radial head replacement. A long-term follow-up study [PDF]
Background: Radial head replacement (RHR) is indicated in comminuted fractures and those associated with elbow instability. Despite satisfactory clinical outcomes, some patients present with concerning radiographic findings.

Open Reduction and Internal Fixation Versus Resection of the Radial Head to Treat Terrible Triad Injury of the Elbow: What if Radial Head Replacement is not Possible? [PDF]
Background: Terrible triad of elbow injury (TTI) has great potential for joint instability with a relatively poor prognosis. Different surgical methods have been introduced for radial head fractures.
