Abstract

Arthroscopic fixation of radial head fractures is a valid alternative to the classic open reduction and internal fixation; the technique provides encouraging results and shows progressively evolving indications. The whole radial head circumference can be adequately addressed with appropriate use of anterolateral, anteromedial, and midlateral portals. This chapter describes the advantages and disadvantages of each portal and provides practical advice to improve visualization to guarantee the safety of the procedure.
