The aim of the investigation was to create an effective system of treating patients with isolated fractures of the radial head in order to achieve the most rapid and full recovery of the injured limb function. The work is based on the study of the results of treatment of 89 patients with isolated fractures of the radial head treated by various methods from 2005 to 2011. It was developed an algorithm for investigation of such patients providing a detailed analysis of the various options for fractures of the radial head. Applied in the work classification of Mason in Hotchkiss modification helps to determine the treatment strategy and predict functional outcome. The developed system of treating patients with fractures of the radial head takes into account the severity of damage and includes indications for conservative and operative treatment, makes it possible to obtain good functional results.
