[Results of modern osteosynthesis procedures in fractures of the radial head--are conservative therapy, bone pin osteosynthesis or primary resection still allowed?].

In a retrospective study, we evaluated the outcome of 38 patients who underwent open reduction internal fixation for displaced radial head fractures. We used resorbable material, as well as titanium implants which need no hardware removal. Our results were 84% good, 6% satisfying and 10% unsatisfying. The latter were due to more severe damage to the elbow joint.

[Expanded indications for the Herbert-screw osteosynthesis].

Since 1984 the typical headless double threaded Herbert/Whipple screw is known in managing scaphoid fractures and scaphoid non-unions. We resume technical, biomechanical and histological aspects to point out advantages and disadvantages of this osteosynthesis. Our case review of 39 patients illustrate the same good results as achieved in treating scaphoid injuries, when using the Herbert/Whipple screw of a larger diameter for expanded indications other than scaphoid fractures, such as humeral- or radial-head fractures, Jones fractures and others.
