Simultaneous monteggia type I fracture equivalent with ipsilateral fracture of the distal radius and ulna in a child: a case report

Authors: Asheesh Sood, Osman Khan, Tajesh Bagga

Published in: Journal of Medical Case Reports | Issue 1/2008

Abstract

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.

Conclusion

We have highlighted a rare combination of injuries. Early recognition and prompt surgical intervention can lead to a satisfactory outcome even in these complex injuries.
