We report a case of fixation of a radial head fracture with PLLA screw and pin (FIXSORB®). A49-year-old male fell and sustained a fracture of the right radial head by direct injury. The radiological finding was classified as Mason type 3. We removed the radial head, fixated two fragments of the head of radial head with two PLLA pins, and fixated it to the shaft of the radius with one PLLA screw. In addition, one PLLA pin was used for the prevention of rotation. The elbow was immobilized in a splint for two weeks. Active movement was begun after two weeks. One year after the injury, his only symptom was a slight limitation of pronation. Extension-flexsion was full range of motion (zero to 140 degrees), as was supination (90 degrees). Pronation was 35 degrees. The JOA score was 98.
