A Unique Approach to Irreparable Radial Head Fracture Using an Osteochondral Plug: A Case Report.

An 18-year-old male patient sustained a traumatic injury that resulted in the loss of approximately 50% of the radial head. Subsequently, reconstruction was performed by transplanting an osteochondral plug harvested from the lateral femoral condyle. At the 1-year postoperative follow-up, the patient was pain-free and had a good range of motion./r/nUsing a novel technique, an irreparable radial head fracture was reconstructed using an osteochondral plug from the lateral femoral condyle. Reconstruction with osteochondral plugs may be a treatment option for partial loss of the radial head.
