Monteggia fracture dislocations can be classic or equivalents. Equivalents, also known as like lesions, are very rare especially type III and IV, which have been added to the literature after Luis Bado presented original classification system of dislocations. Type equivalent is classically defined a proximal ulna associated with lateral condyle humerus. In only seven such cases reported so far....

THE JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY alternative methods, such as epiphyseodesis by inserting a bone peg (Weiner et al. 1984). The hook-pin has eliminated the risk of lost epiphyseal grip : it cannot slide back and it is retracted in its channel with the growth of the femoral neck. Inserted in a pre-drilled hole there is only minimal trauma to the growth plate ; and as only one pin (inserted u...

Pediatric elbow fractures can be challenging to manage. Compression of the medial column in Gartland Type I and Type II supracondylar fractures must be reduced to prevent varus deformity. Gartland Type III fractures may be stabilized with two lateral pins or a medial lateral cross-pin technique. Non-displaced lateral condyle fractures require vigilant follow-up. Open reduction of displaced late...
