The management of Mason type II radial h fractures is still de het ad.
studies suggest that long-tam clinical results of both cocative and non operative treatments are
good. The mobilization prowcdl of the most citica point of disassion. Our
study am is to establish effedts of an immalise active elbow mobilization (I-RAM) on calaveric
models of radid head fracture. We performed Mason II radial head fractures on frozen intad
human upper limbs. We than andlyzed the efliecs of I-R AM on calaveric model using Cone-Beam
Computerized Tomogrphy (CBCT). A saisially significant aduction fragments
after fracture reduction and afler 0-30% range of motion was found. The 30-110% motion range was
not abk w0 incxa fagmants distss wa Our stuly shows that an exrandy carly mobilization
Mason 11 radial head fadure doe significantly incesse fragments displacement.
Princigal limitations of this study are due to the use of a cadweric model, mainly the absence the
hematoma and swalling developmant and fadux-assodaed sof-lissue injuries. For this rason,
planning paspectival study to tes roults of ealy mobilization (I-RAM) aso on living
models.
