Bilateral Radial Head Fractures in a Young Patient : A Rare and Unique Presentation
Copyright: © Indian Orthopaedic Research Group..
Introduction: Bilateral radial head fractures are a unique and rare presentation. Few studies are available in the literature documenting these type of injuries. We present a rare case of bilateral radial head fractures (Mason type 1) and managed conservatively with full functional recovery.
Case Report: A 20-year-old male sustained bilateral radial head fractures (Mason type 1) following a roadside accident. The patient was managed conservatively with above elbow slab for 2 weeks followed by range of motion exercises. The patient had uneventful follow-up with full range of motion at elbow.
Conclusion: Bilateral radial head fractures in a patient are a discreet clinical entity. A high index of suspicion, meticulous history, clinical examination, and appropriate imaging is essential in patients with history of fall on outstretched hands to avoid missing diagnosis. Early diagnosis, proper management, and appropriate physical rehabilitation lead to complete functional recovery.
