In comparison with the frequently used modified Kocher approach, the extensor digitorum communis (EDC) splitting approach allows improved access to the anterior half of the radial head, which is most commonly fractured, while reducing the risk of iatrogenic injury to the lateral collateral ligament.
In our recent cadaveric study, we quantitatively compared the modified Kocher and EDC splitting approaches in order to determine which provided the greatest exposure of the anterior aspect of the radial head, which is most commonly fractured.
