$icd 10 radial head fracture$

Posteromedial 2/3 of radial head articulates with the lesser sigmoid notch of the ulna, anterolateral 1/3 has no articulation internal fixation should be placed anterolaterlly.

Studies of static loading across the elbow have suggested that as much as 60% of force is transmitted across the radiocapitellar articulation.

Radial head excision may result in loss of strength, valgus instability, and proximal migration of the radius leading to wrist pain in these situations.

Stabilizing role of the radial head may become predominant if there is concomitant injury to the interosseous membrane or wrist (the Essex-Lopresti lesion).

Pathologic valgus instability results if the radial head is resected when there is concomitant medial collateral ligament injury

Radial head is a secondary stabilizer to valgus stress, with the primary restraint being the medial collateral ligament.

Commonly results from a fall on the outstretched hand with pronated forearm resulting in axial, valgus and external rotation forces.

Found in nearly 20% of all elbow trauma, most common fracture of the elbow.
