A member asked:
About radial head surgery. had surgery over 30 years ago. had 2 rotary cuff surgeries 2012 & 2013. mri shows radial head in pieces. what are options?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Replace or resect: If it is symptomatic, the two major options are either resection of the radial head or the replacement of the head. If it is not causing problem, you might not want to do anything with it.
