TLDR
This poster explains why radial neck fractures in children often have poor outcomes, especially if not reduced, and even after open reduction.Abstract:
Radial neck fractures in children are not uncommon. Most are minimally displaced or nondisplaced. Severely displaced fractures or angulated radial neck fractures in children often have poor outcomes, especially if not reduced, and even after open reduction.read more

Elbow fractures in children. An epidemiological analysis of 589 cases.
Lennart Landin,Lars Danielsson +1 more
TL;DR: The radiographs of 589 elbow fractures in children under the age of 16 years were reviewed and fractures of the humerus, radial neck, and fracture of the lateral humeral condyle were reviewed, with boys experiencing more fractures than girls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction and fixation of displaced radial neck fractures by closed intramedullary pinning.
TL;DR: An intramedullary wire introduced from below and projected upward allows reduction of the displacement and maintenance of the correction without infringing the joint.
Journal Article
Management of radial neck fractures in children: a retrospective analysis of one hundred patients.
TL;DR: Patients with radial neck fractures treated at the Royal Liverpool Children's Hospital, Alder Hey, were analyzed and Avascular necrosis, radial head enlargement, and notching of the radial neck were the most common complications.

Angulated radial neck fractures in children. A prospective study of percutaneous reduction
JA Steele,HK Graham +1 more
TL;DR: This study made a prospective study of angulated radial neck fractures in children reduced by leverage with a percutaneous Kirschner wire and obtained an excellent or good final result in 31 cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Displaced radial neck fractures in children.
TL;DR: It is generally unwise to attempt operative correction unless the radial head remains displaced or the residual angulation approaches 45 degrees, so treatment of displaced fractures of the radial neck should be by closed means whenever possible.
