Abstract
Management of radial head and neck fractures involves precontoured plate fixation.Proper plate fixation by determination of safe zone helps in restoration of normal mobility and function at radio ulnar and elbow joint. Aims and objectives of present study includes :1) To estimate bending radius of neck head curvature in the safe zone (BR), 2) Types of curvature classified as flat profile, low concave curvature and marked concave curvature at safe zone and 3) To estimate the differences in parameters between right and left radii. Results: Mean bending radii at safe zone was 25.66±9.64 and 29.97±10.40 in right and left side respectively. There was significant difference in values of bending radii between right and left sides. Low concave curvature was most prevalent type of curvature. Conclusion: Estimation of bending radii at safe and its morphology can help in reducing impingement and help in reducing postoperative complications.
