Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the presenter discusses a case of a 23-year-old skateboarder who sustains a radial head fracture due to a fall. The presenter shows the CT scan and notes that the patient has dislocated radial head fragments but a congruent humeral joint. The options for treatment are discussed, and it is determined that surgical intervention is necessary.
