Abstract
A system and methods are provided for treating radial head fractures. The system includes an implant, a sterile instrument kit for radial head arthroplasty, and a head sizer and assembly tray for sizing and assembling implants. The implant includes a head that is coupled with a stem. The head is adapted to be placed into sliding contact with a capitellum of the radiocapitellar joint. The stem is configured to be inserted into a hole reamed into a medullary canal of the radial head. The sterile instrument kit comprises a multiplicity of instruments including any one or more of trial heads and trial stems, a starter awl, a reamer, a planar, an inserter cap, and an impactor. The instruments are configured for implanting the implant into the radiocapitellar joint such that the implant restores biomechanical properties of the joint.
