Arthroscopic Fixation of Radial Neck Fractures in Children

Radial neck fractures are common injuries in children. Surgery is necessary for displaced fractures that cannot be closed reduced; however, open surgery is associated with suboptimal outcomes and potential complications. Arthroscopic fixation of radial neck fractures is a minimally invasive technique for repositioning the radial head in correct alignment. Reduction of the radial head is performed under direct visualization to restore the congruency of proximal radioulnar and radiocapitellar joints and K-wires can be passed under visualization via safe portals for fixation.
