Two-thirds of 12 patients reviewed at least 13 years after excision of the radial head for closed fracture had a good or fair result; poor results followed a delay of more than 6 weeks before operation. Less than half the patients admitted to significant elbow symptoms, although all but one had radiographic degenerative changes. All the patients except one had measurable radiographic inferior radio-ulnar subluxation, which averaged 2.3 mm, but this gave symptoms in only one case. The majority of patients can expect an acceptable clinical result from this procedure provided that certain conditions are met.
12例因闭合性骨折行桡骨头切除术后至少13年接受复查的患者中，三分之二的结果为良好或尚可；手术延迟超过6周则结果较差。不到一半的患者承认肘部有明显症状，尽管除1例之外所有患者均有影像学退变改变。除1例患者外，所有患者均有可测量的影像学下尺桡关节半脱位，平均为2.3毫米，但仅1例出现症状。只要满足某些条件，大多数患者可预期该手术能带来可接受的临床结果。
