Abstract
Radial head resection increases contact pressure in the coronoid, especially the lateral coronoid. This study showed that radiocapitellar Achilles disc arthroplasty significantly improves contact pressures on the coronoid after radial head resection. Achilles disc arthroplasty could be considered in patients who are not candidates for radial head arthroplasty.
