Radial head fractures occur in isolation or in association with fracture dislocations around elbow. The following xray is of 37 years old male who suffered trauma to his right elbow following a fall in a pit.
The patient presented to us about 3 weeks after the injury and was treated by radial head excision.
It is worthy of noting that had this patient presented earlier, there were strong chances of radial head preservation.
