However, when the patient is symptomatic, an optimal functional outcome can only be obtained after operative treatment. There is currently no consensus on the best surgical technique to treat this condition.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>We present a 34-year-old male with a radial head non-union and our proposed technique of using a cylindrical bone autograft harvested from the iliac crest and fixation with headless compression screws. At 12 months follow-up, the patient was pain free and had comparable range of motion to the uninjured side.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>We recommend a useful technique for the treatment of radial neck fracture nonunion.
