Abstract

There are no suitable surgical techniques for treatment of a chronic radial head dislocation with secondary osteoarthritis in an adolescent patient. Prosthetic replacement after radial head resection is a treatment option in an adult patient with the osteoarthritis.2 However, there are high removal and revision rates due to aseptic loosening, prosthesis dislocation, and protrusion as postoperative complications.2 Interposition of the anconeus muscle at the radiocapitellar joint after resection of the radial head was first described by Morrey and Schneeberger5 for the treatment of pathological conditions involving the radiocapitellar and proximal radioulnar joints.
