        abstract = {Any motion across the elbow requires an intact articulating radial head. With the rising trend in workouts, there is an increasing need to strengthen the elbow joint, whether for fine motor skills, dance forms, or heavy weightlifting. Literature indicates that approximately 90% of body weight can be transmitted across this joint. Fractures often occur when a patient falls onto an outstretched hand or when excessive axial load is transmitted from the wrist to the elbow joint. Most radial head displacements occur in children under five years old due to laxity in the supporting ligaments. This is followed by radial head dislocations associated with other forearm injuries in individuals during their third and fourth decades of life. Isolated occurrences of radial head fractures are rare, making pre-operative planning crucial when attempting to fix such fractures.},
