If you have a radial head fracture, you may benefit from physical therapy to help you fully recover.
Your humerus is your upper-arm bone, and the radius and ulna make up your forearm.
The radial head is the end of your radius near the elbow.

Surrounding the radial head is a ligament called the annular ligament.
This structure helps to keep your radial head in place.
Your first visit with your physical therapist (PT) after a radial head fracture is an initial evaluation.
Your PT will then be able to develop a plan of care to help improve your overall mobility.
