ExploR™ Modular Radial Head Data Collection

The purpose of this prospective clinical data collection is to document the performance and clinical outcomes of the ExploR Modular Radial Head. The radial head on which data will be collected is legally marketed and is not investigational or experimental. This data collection effort will document the clinical outcomes of the radial head. Surgical techniques and patient care are to be standard for the surgeon participating in the protocol. There will be no experimental or investigational surgical techniques used. The devices and products are to be used in accordance with their instructions for use and/or approved labeling. The outcomes and data collected include: The Mayo Clinic Performance Index for The Elbow The Quick DASH Outcome Measure Radiographic Evaluation All revisions, complications, and adverse events will also be recorded.
