Abstract

We report the manipulative reduction method for tilted and/or impacted fractures of the radial neck utilizing stiff Kirschner wire in 7 patients. All the reduced fractures were immobilized by external splint until union. All healed without redisplacement and with restored normal range of motion of the elbow and forearm. There were no complications. This procedure was found to be the least traumatic and it was effective in reduction.
