Case Discussion
Radial head fractures are the most common fractures of the elbow.
Undisplaced or minimally displaced radial head fractures are oftentimes isolated injuries.
These fractures are usually the result of low-energy trauma such as a fall onto the outstretched hand.
The Mason classification assists in the decision of adequate management.
