The crucial role of the radial head in the stability of the elbow in terrible triad injury is acknowledged. This retrospective study aims to compare the results of resection of a severely comminuted radial head with or without prosthetic arthroplasty as part of the reconstruction for this injury. The outcome of radial head resection was compared with prosthetic arthroplasty in 29 and 15 patients with terrible triad injuries, respectively. There were ten female patients (34.5%) in the resection group and six female patients (40%) in the prosthesis group. The mean age was 40.7 years (Aims
Patients and Methods
We describe a rare variant of mirror hand in a 20-year-old man who presented with multiple fingers. Radiographs revealed two ulnae (one vestigial) and a radius. There was duplication of the humeral head. The unique features of this case are the age of patient before the start of treatment and extension of the duplication proximal to the elbow.
