Out of 11 cases who were between 7-14 years of age, open reduction and fixation with Kirschner wire was applied on 6, and radial heads were excised in 4. In one case associated with olecranon fracture, osteosynthesis was performed for olecranon fracture, whereas radial neck fracture was not interfered with. 4 children whose radial heads were excised were admitted to our hospital later than 20 days after iniury. In 6 cases fixed with open reduction and Kirschner wire, good results buit in 5 cases rin which the radial heads were excited and no intervention was effected bad results were obtained. The follow-up period was at least 6 months and at most 2 years. The treatment of these fractures which is thought to be very simple but which might leave the patient disabled has been discussed under the light of information obtained from literature and our cases. It has been conciuded that the best method of treatment for fractures of the neck of the radius in children 1. which was displaced more than 15 degrees, and whose displacement could not be reduced by closed manipulation or in which redisplacement occured after closed reduction, 2. which was displaced more than 60 degrees and 3. in which total dispiacement occured is to apply open reduction and to fix with Kirschner wire.}, number={1}, publisher={Turkish Association of Orthopaedics and Traumatology}
