INTRODUCTION Simultaneous Monteggia injuries of the elbow and ipsilateral distal radius and ulna fractures are very rare. CASE PRESENTATION A unique case of a type I Monteggia fracture equivalent with ipsilateral fracture of the distal radius and ulna (Salter-Harris type II) in a child is reported. We describe the management of this unique fracture and discuss the possible mechanism of injury...

carpal fracture-dislocation is regarded as an unusual orthopedic injury and, thus, orthopedic surgeons are less experienced in dealing with and treating these fractures and dislocations. we report a 20-year-old worker man suffering from an unusual carpal fracture-dislocation. there was trans-scaphoid fracture and lunate dislocation with other carpal proximal bones toward volar of the wrist. two...

This study was conducted to explore epidemiologic features of traumatic elbow dislocation with associated fractures in pediatric population following appropriate treatment options.Incidence of elbow dislocation with associated fractures was analyzed in 67 children using elbow radiographs. Treatment for the displaced elbow joint was performed by closed reduction and proper immobilization. Surgic...

background: prevalence of recurrent shoulder dislocation in patients taking tramadol has not been studiedyet so, this study aims to study the recurrent shoulder dislocation following tramadol induced seizure. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 205 patients with recurrent shoulder dislocation complaints (2 or more) referred to shafa orthopedic and iranmehr hospitals tehran, iran, from octob...

INTRODUCTION We report a case of Type 1 Monteggia equivalent injury with intact radio-capitellar congruity, associated with epiphyseal fracture of distal radius and distal ulna shaft in an 11-year-old boy. There are only a few cases of Monteggia or Monteggia equivalent injury with ipsilateral forearm fractures in children, and injury pattern being reported by us is not only rare but also the on...

The incidence of Monteggia lesion is only 1 to 2% of all childhood forearm injuries and even less in adults [2]. Distal humerus intraarticular fractures constitute 0.5%-7% of all fractures and 30% of elbow fractures [3]. Monteggia lesion have been found to be associated with wrist lesions [1,4,5]. Wiley and Galey [1] & Arazi et al. [6] reported one case each of the ipsilateral supracondylar fra...

PURPOSE The aims of this study were to review our cases of missed Monteggia fracture treated by open reduction of the radial head with or without ulnar osteotomy and to investigate the indications for open reduction alone in surgical treatment of missed Monteggia fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 22 patients who presented with missed Monteggia fracture. The patients'...

Elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) has been established as state of the art treatment for forearm fractures in children, if operative stabilization is required. Their use has been expanded to single bone shaft fractures, and also more complex injuries such as Monteggia fractures or Monteggia-like lesions. A wide range of complications has been reported in the literature, up to 70% in ...

background: trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture-dislocation and perilunate dislocations are among uncommon injuries, most commonly seen in young patients due to high energy trauma. the treatment can be achieved either surgically by open reduc tion and internal fixation or closed reduction and casting.   methods: to compare surgical versus non-operative results of treatment of trans-scaphoid peri...
