The Most Common Fracture in the Elbow Region Is a Fracture

The most common fracture in the elbow region is a fracture of the head and neck of the radius.All of the following are true about medical management of this injury except:

A) Improved ROM is the primary indication for surgery and the primary goal of postoperative rehabilitation following a radial head fracture.
B) Open reduction and internal fixation is the preferred technique if stable fixation can be achieved and the patient is a young, active adult.
C) Closed reduction is preferred for radial head fractures in children.
D) Biomechanical studies demonstrate that implant arthroplasty after a severely comminuted fracture restores stability and kinematics similar to the native radial head.
