Abstract

Background

A rare type I Monteggia equivalent lesion with a posterior dislocation associated with a diaphyseal radius and ulna fracture in an adult is described. The probable mechanisms of injury are speculated to include flexion of the elbow and pronation of the forearm.

Methods and results

Early reduction of the dislocation and rigid fixation of the fractures helped to achieve excellent results.
