We describe a case of a Monteggia fracture dislocation and an ipsilateral lateral humeral condyle fracture in a 3-year-old child. This is a rare combination of injuries with no previously reported cases in the literature. This case emphasises that when a fracture is detected around an elbow there should be a high index of suspicion for other injuries in the region.

introduction the debate regarding the description on classification and nomenclature of the injury which includes olecranon fracture associated with radial neck fractures in children is ongoing. we report two pediatric cases that could not be classified in a monteggia-equivalents system and were treated with open reduction and k-wire fixation. the aim of this study was to perform a systematic r...

Monteggia fracture-dislocations remain a relatively uncommon injury. Prompt recognition of this injury is imperative. The character of the ulnar fracture is useful in determining optimal treatment. It is imperative to look for associated injuries of the radial head and coronoid, which alter the management and lead to altered outcomes.
