Pathogenetic Approach to Surgery in Children with Old Discosions of the Radial Head

The results of surgical treatment of 83 patients with dislocations of the radial head were analyzed. To recreate the annular ligament, the joint capsule itself and segments of the annular ligament were used, which is a more anatomical and physiological approach in relation to the elbow joint. The results were evaluated on a 5-point system, which included the functions of the joint and the axis of the upper limb. Good and excellent results when assessed after 6, 12 months (4-5 points) were obtained in 56 patients, which accounted for 57.4%, satisfactory results (3 points) were observed in 26 (31.3%).
