description Objective: To assess the functional outcome of radial head fracture Mason type III and IV treated with K-wire fixation. Materials and Methods:This prospective study was conducted at Department of Orthopaedics,Civil Hospital,Dow University of Health Sciences Karachi from 2013 to 2015. Patients with Radial head fracture type III and IV were included in the study. Results:A total of 42 patients were included in this study. Out of these 36 were males and 6 were females. Right side was injured in 18 patients and left side in 24 patients. 32 patients were with Mason type III radial head fracture and 10 were Mason type IV fractures. All fractures were fixed with open reduction and internal fixation with K-wire. Lateral approach was used in all fractures. In Type IV elbow was reduced with close technique. Outcome was measured on the basis of Morrey elbow scoring system. 22 patients with type III radial head fracture had excellent results while10 with type III had good result. All patients with radial head fractureType IV had good results. Conclusion:Assessment of functional outcome of radial head fracture Mason type III treated with K-wire fixation showed excellent outcome in majority of patients while Type IV had good outcome.Mason type III radial head fractures should be reduced and fixed with K-wire. It maintains the stability of elbow joint and elbow function.
