Trang 1Radial head fractures may occur in conjunction with ulnar shaft fracture (Monteggia equivalent) Associated fractures are common, including capitellum, olecranon, and lateral humeral condyle, as well as
dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint
When the diagnosis is uncertain, oblique, radiocapitellar, and
comparison views may be useful in addition to standard AP and lateral radiographs
Patients with radial head and neck fractures may complain of wrist pain but have focal tenderness to palpation over the anatomic location of the injury
Injury may be associated with trauma to the posterior interosseous nerve
