RADIAL HEAD FRACTURE REHAB PROTOCOL
Introduction
This protocol is recommended for Mason's type I fracture or type II or III with ORIF. Goal: Regain full pain-free ROM of elbow and prevent shoulder and wrist stiffness.
Phase (0 to 14 days)
Begin elbow active ROM and active-assisted ROM for flexion and extension. ROM by the end of 2nd week should be at least 15 to 105 degrees. Begin putty/grip exercises. Begin isometric strengthening exercises for the elbow and wrist.
Phase II (15 days to 6 weeks)
Continue elbow active and active assisted ROM exercises. Full flexion and extension ROM should be achieved by the end of 6 weeks. Begin active and active assisted supination and pronation. Begin light isotonic strengthening of flexion and extension. Assess and maintain shoulder and wrist strength and ROM.
Phase III (7-12 weeks)
Continue active and active assisted supination and pronation. Full pronation and supination should be achieved by the end of the 8th week. Progressively increase isotonic strengthening in flexion/extension and
pronation/supination. Work on any deficits.
