Abstract
Making up 1.5% to 4.0% of all fractures, radial head and neck fractures are typically treated based on the severity of angulation at the radial neck or if range of motion (ROM) is blocked. In this study, we present a case of a 43-year old woman with a Mason Type 2 radial neck fracture, successfully treated with closed reduction and one week of immobilization, resulting in near anatomic radial neck angulation without the need for operative intervention. The patient returned to work within two weeks and regained full ROM by six months, maintaining near anatomic reduction throughout. Keywords: Elbow Injury; R
