Elbow Fracture
Radiation Therapy for Heterotopic Ossification Prophylaxis Acutely After Elbow Trauma
The investigators hypothesized that radiation therapy could be safely administered acutely after elbow trauma, and it would decrease the number of patients that would require surgical excision of heterotopic ossification.
