Simultaneous bilateral Mason type IIb radial head fractures in a young female: Was an increased carrying angle the cause?

Abstract

Radial head fracture is the most common type of elbow fracture in adults. It results from a fall on an outstretched hand. However, simultaneous bilateral radial head fractures are extremely rare. We report a case of simultaneous bilateral mason type IIb radial head fractures in a young female, which was treated nonoperatively with excellent results.
