Fractures of the radial head are common. The vast majority either are isolated injuries (meaning no other fractures or ligament injuries) that cannot be seen on radiographs (occult), nondisplaced, or are displaced less than 2 millimeters. Most fractures displaced more than a few millimeters are associated with other fractures or ligament injuries. Once it is determined that the fracture is stable and isolated, the focus of treatment becomes retaining elbow range of motion. It can be counterintuitive to stretch an injured joint, but the average patient achieves normal or near-normal motion during stretching—some more quickly than others. …
