Introduction: In a Monteggia fracture dislocation, it is important to reduce the ulnar fracture completely. Extensive plastic deformation of the proximal ulna may make reduction by closed manipulation impossible. Case presentation: We report the case of a four-year-old Caucasian boy in whom the plastic deformation of the proximal ulna was reduced, and this reduction was maintained, using intra-...

INTRODUCTION The eponym "Monteggia fracture" includes various patterns of complex fracture-dislocations of the proximal ulna and radius, which are not well defined yet. They are frequently described as Monteggia-like lesions or Monteggia equivalent injuries. Until today, these injury patterns have been reported rarely. The objective of this retrospective study was to better define patterns of i...

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...

Abstract Introduction Double injury patterns in the form of Monteggia or Galeazzi fracture dislocation represent a spectrum of forearm injuries which are severe and usually necessitate operative intervention. Association of ulnar dislocation with proximal radioulnar disruption with fracture of the radial shaft, without dislocation of radiohumeral joint, represents a rare and unusual double inju...
