Mason Classification of Radial Head Fractures

The classification method proposed by Mason in 1954 is widely used both domestically and internationally:
I Type Small fracture fragment or marginal fracture, no displacement or slight displacement.
II Type Marginal fracture with displacement, involving more than 30% of the radial head.
III Type Comminuted fracture of the radial head.
IV Type Comminuted fracture of the radial head with posterior dislocation of the elbow joint.
