The mean age of the patients in the ORIF group was 38.5 years and 54 years in the resection group. The carrying angle (CA) and ulnar variance were measured bilaterally, and radiographs were reviewed for degenerative elbow arthritis. The Mayo elbow performance score, Turkish version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire (DASH-T) and visual analog scale (VAS) were used to evaluate the clinical results.\nResults\nThe mean follow-up period in the ORIF group was 40.2 months and 44.4 months in the resection group. In the ORIF group, 11 patients were clinically rated excellent, six good, and two fair. In the resection group, seven patients had excellent, five had good, and two had fair scores. We did not find a statistically significant difference between the ORIF and resection groups regarding the clinical and radiological outcomes.\nConclusion\nWith these short-term results, resection arthroplasty may be considered an effective method in the treatment of isolated comminuted radial head fractures, as it is less technically demanding and it also allows for early postoperative motion. However, the patients should be evaluated in detail, regarding ligamentous injuries prior to resection arthroplasty.\nLevel of evidence\nLevel III, Therapeutic study.\nER -\n\nKeywords\n\n\n\tComminuted\n\tIsolated\n\tOpen reduction-internal fixation\n\tRadial head fracture\n\tResection arthroplasty<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.03.010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,6]],"date-time":"2017-01-06T06:32:33Z","timestamp":1483684353000},"page":"118-122","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/elsevier_cm_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["A comparison of the open reduction-internal fixation and resection arthroplasty techniques in treatment of Mason Type 3 radial head fractures"],"prefix":"10.5152","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Yunus","family":"Emre AKMAN","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Erhan","family":"SUKUR","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Esra","family":"C\u0130RC\u0130","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Osman","family":"Nuri OZYALVAC","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fatih","family":"OZYER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yusuf","family":"OZTURKMEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3111","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,7]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.03.010_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"323","DOI":"10.4103\/0019-5413.114907","article-title":"Surgical management of Mason type III radial head fractures","volume":"47","author":"Miller","year":"2013","journal-title":"Indian J Orthop"},{"key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.03.010_bib2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1730","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-200408000-00018","article-title":"The effect of radial head excision and arthroplasty on elbow kinematics and stability","volume":"86","author":"Beingessner","year":"2004","journal-title":"J\u00a0Bone Joint Surg Am"},{"key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.03.010_bib3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"849","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2006.04.125","article-title":"Radial head fracture in the medial collateral ligament deficient elbow; biomechanical comparison of fixation, replacement and excision in human cadavers","volume":"37","author":"Charalambous","year":"2006","journal-title":"Injury"},{"key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.03.010_bib4","first-page":"1571","article-title":"Posterolateral rotatory instability of the elbow following radial head resection","volume":"87","author":"Hall","year":"2005","journal-title":"J\u00a0Bone Joint Surg Am"},{"key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.03.010_bib5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"238","DOI":"10.1016\/S1058-2746(99)90135-0","article-title":"Elbow joint kinematics after excision of the radial head","volume":"8","author":"Jensen","year":"1999","journal-title":"J\u00a0Shoulder Elbow Surg"},{"issue":"11","key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.03.010_bib6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e1358","DOI":"10.3928\/01477447-20131021-15","article-title":"Resection arthroplasty for Mason type III radial head fractures yield good clinical but poor radiological results in the long term","volume":"36","author":"Yalcinkaya","year":"2013","journal-title":"Orthopedics"},{"key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.03.010_bib7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1925","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-200409000-00010","article-title":"Fractures of the radial head and neck treated with radial head excision","volume":"86","author":"Herbertsson","year":"2004","journal-title":"J\u00a0Bone Joint Surg Am"},{"key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.03.010_bib8","first-page":"106","article-title":"Symptomatic proximal translation of the radius following radial head resection","volume":"317","author":"Sowa","year":"1995","journal-title":"Clin Orthop Relat Res"},{"key":"10.1016\/j.aott.2016.03.010_bib9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"76","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-200501000-00011","article-title":"Comminuted fractures of the radial head.
