Abstract
Background: Radial head and neck fractures are one of the common fractures of the elbow in adult patients. There are controversial in treatment of nondisplaced head and neck fracture. However, nonoperative treatment remain as a choice treatment of nondisplaced radial head fracture without motion block.
Case Report: we presented a 23 years-old patient who had bilateral nondisplaced radial head fracture. The Patients was managed with conservative treatment and early elbow range of motion. Finally, the patient had full range of motion without any pain in his both elbows.
Conclusion: Nonoperative treatment with early range of motion remain as a treatment for bilateral nondisplaced radial head fracture with acceptable outcome.
