Symptoms of radial head fracture

The main symptoms after radial head fracture are obvious swelling and tenderness of the lateral part of the elbow joint. The patient dares not move the elbow joint himself, and the forearm dares not rotate. The main symptoms of radial head fracture are these. After fracture, which method needs to be used depends on the degree of displacement of the bone fracture. For radial head fracture, a small fracture can be fixed with plaster. Generally, the plaster is removed in 6 weeks to 8 weeks to start the flexion and extension of the elbow joint and the rotation and supination of the forearm. If the radial head fracture shows obvious displacement, it should be treated with open reduction and internal fixation.
