Abstract

Background: Radial head and neck fractures are one of the common fractures of the elbow in adult patients. There are controversies in the treatment of nondisplaced head and neck fractures. However, nonoperative treatment remains a treatment choice for nondisplaced radial head fracture without motion block. Case Report: We presented a 23-year-old patient who had a bilateral nondisplaced radial head fracture. The patient was managed with conservative treatment and early elbow range of motion (ROM). Finally, the patient had a full ROM without pain in both elbows. Conclusion: Conservative management with early mobilization remains an effective approach for treating bilateral nondisplaced radial head fracture, yielding satisfactory outcomes. © 2024 Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
