Monteggia fracture-dislocation in children.
Monteggia fracture-dislocations are uncommon in childhood. Correct early diagnosis is essential to avoid elbow dysfunction and the necessity for open reduction of the radial head. This retrospective analysis of 220 forearm fractures in children shows that 50% of Monteggia fractures were misdiagnosed by accident and emergency (A&E) department senior house officers (SHOs) and 25% were misdiagnose...

متن کاملMonteggia fracture-dislocations in children.
Thirty-three Monteggia fracture-dislocations occurring in patients aged 2 to 15 years were reviewed.

Closed reduction was successful in 24 of 28 cases and appeared to be very effective. Open reduction was required only for older children or when treatment was b...
متن کاملUlnar fracture with late radial head dislocation: delayed Monteggia fracture.
Monteggia fractures are rare but commonly discussed lesions, with increasing complications due to late diagnosis. This article describes a case of a Monteggia fracture with delayed dislocation of the radial head. Previous radiographs of a 2-year 8-month-old boy show complete fracture of the distal ulna, with no radial head dislocation. The radial head remained well positioned after 4 weeks. Sev...
متن کاملThe Monteggia fracture with posterior dislocation of the radial head.
There are two varieties of the fracture-dislocation originally described by Monteggia (1814), according to whether the head of the radius is dislocated anteriorly or posteriorly. The anterior variety, which is the more common, has received a prominent place in all text-books on fractures, chiefly on account of the frequency with which the dislocation is overlooked (Speed and Boyd 1940, \\‘atson...
