We report the treatment of six adult patients with displaced fractures of the radial neck by intramedullary reduction and stabilisation. Nine months after operation all the patients had good joint function, little or no pain, complete healing and no significant periarticular calcification. This simple semi-closed procedure may help to avoid resection of the radial head in some cases.
