We hypothesized that pressure within the radiocapitellar and ulnotrochlear joints would increase with progressive radial head resection, mimicking a displaced radial head fracture, in a cadaveric model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ten cadaveric specimens were tested. Intra-articular pressure sensors were used to measure pressure within the radiocapitellar and ulnotrochlear joints with the forearm in full supination. The elbow was loaded to 100 N in extension, 45\u00b0 of flexion, and 90\u00b0 of flexion under the following conditions: (1) intact radial head, (2) 20% radial head resection, (3) 40% radial head resection, and (4) 100% radial head resection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The distribution of pressure between the radiocapitellar and ulnotrochlear joints did not change with sequential, partial resection of the radial head (radiocapitellar joint, between 48.92% and 53.79%; ulnotrochlear joint, between 46.21% and 51.08%). After 20% resection, radiocapitellar peak contact pressure (PCP) increased by 22% (from 1,410 to 1,721.5 kPa) and ulnotrochlear PCP increased by 36% (from 1,319 to 1,797.5 kPa). After 40% resection, radiocapitellar PCP increased by 123% (from 1,410 to 3,145 kPa; p = 0.0003) and ulnotrochlear PCP increased by 105% (from 1,319 to 2,702 kPa; p = 0.007). Ulnotrochlear PCP increased by a total of 159% after complete radial head resection (from 1,319 to 3,415.5 kPa; p = 0.003).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pressures in the radiocapitellar and ulnotrochlear joints were equally distributed with an intact radial head and after partial resection.
