Nineteen patients were included in group RHA and 35 patients in group ORIF. The mean age was 51 years old in group RHA and 41 years old in group ORIF (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.02).

Two secondary radial head resection or implant removal were performed in each group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.56) with poor functional outcomes in group ORIF. There was less heterotopic ossification in group RHA (15.8% vs. 42.8%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.03).
