Fracture Dislocation of the Radial Head

Introduction Case Report Discussion References Abstract A case of 28-year-old man with closed fracture dislocation of the radial head following a fall from height is reported. He was treated with radial head excision. The radial head is an important stabilizer of the elbow, thus the rationale of radial head excision in management of radial head fractures should be scrutinized. There is much deb...

The Monteggia fracture with posterior dislocation of the radial head.

There are two varieties of the fracture-dislocation originally described by Monteggia (1814), according to whether the head of the radius is dislocated anteriorly or posteriorly. The anterior variety, which is the more common, has received a prominent place in all text-books on fractures, chiefly on account of the frequency with which the dislocation is overlooked (Speed and Boyd 1940, \\‘atson...

Ulnar fracture with late radial head dislocation: delayed Monteggia fracture.

Monteggia fractures are rare but commonly discussed lesions, with increasing complications due to late diagnosis. This article describes a case of a Monteggia fracture with delayed dislocation of the radial head. Previous radiographs of a 2-year 8-month-old boy show complete fracture of the distal ulna, with no radial head dislocation. The radial head remained well positioned after 4 weeks. Sev...
