Abstract :

A thirty year old lady fell off her horse and landed on both her out stretched hands resultingin bilateral Mason�s 2 radial head fractures. Her elbows were swollen and bruised with no external injury. She had no pain anywhere else in the body. The elbow movements were globally restricted bilaterally of both elbows. Flexion beyond 90 degrees was impossible due to pain and extension was possible to about 170 degrees from 90 degrees. Pronation and supination were nil. The integrity of both posterior interosseus nerves were maintained with no finger drop noted. The radial pulses of both sides were equal and normal in volume and rate. Her cervical spine was non-tender and her lower limbs and hip joints were normal without any clinical or radiological evidence of injury. Both radial head fractures were closed fractures.
