Fractures of the radial head and neck are the most common fractures of the elbow, and account for approximately one-third of all elbow fractures. Depending on the fracture type the treatment is either conservative or surgical. There is no absolute consensus regarding optimal treatment for different fracture types. The aim of this protocol is to present the method that will be used to collect, describe and analyse the current evidence regarding the treatment of Mason II-III radial head and neck fractures.
We will conduct a systematic review in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocol (PRISMA-P) guidelines statement. We will search a number of databases with a predefined search strategy to collect both randomised and non-randomised studies. The articles will be summarised with descriptive statistics. If applicable a meta-analysis will be conducted.
Ethical approval is not required since this is a protocol for a systematic review and no primary data will be collected. The authors will publish findings from this review in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

桡骨头和颈部骨折是肘部最常见的骨折，约占所有肘部骨折的三分之一。根据骨折类型，治疗方法分为保守治疗或手术治疗。对于不同骨折类型的最佳治疗方法，目前尚无绝对共识。本方案的目的是介绍用于收集、描述和分析有关梅森II - III型桡骨头和颈部骨折治疗的现有证据的方法。
我们将按照系统评价与Meta分析方案的首选报告项目（PRISMA - P）指南声明进行系统评价。我们将使用预定义的检索策略在多个数据库中进行检索，以收集随机和非随机研究。文章将采用描述性统计进行总结。如果适用，将进行Meta分析。
由于这是一项系统评价方案且不会收集原始数据，因此无需伦理批准。作者将在同行评审的科学期刊上发表本评价的结果。
