Comparative analysis of fixation techniques shows differing outcomes in complex radial head fractures, indicating the need for tailored approaches.
Proximal radius fractures, particularly Mason Type III, pose significant challenges in elbow surgery due to their complexity and impact on joint function. This study compares the biomechanical properties of two fixation techniques: the radial neck plate and an advanced tripod fixation approach. While the radial neck plate is a reliable option, it may cause soft tissue irritation and restrict range of motion. The tripod fixation method, using headless compression screws (HCS), aims to address these complications.
