A member asked:
Hello what is best treatment for broken elbow? radial head fracture bones displaces if arm is moved, i.e. if patient leans forward patient is 53?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Radial head: The best care is administered by an orthopedic surgeon with experience treating such fractures. You may have to consult one at an orthopedic department at a university hospital if none of the local orthopedists don't have sufficient experience.
