Wrist disarticulation associated with Monteggia fracture
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 50-year-old man, right-handed farmer, was admitted to the emergency department after undergoing an agriculture accident. Physical examination on admission revealed a left wrist disarticulation with a deformity of the ipsilateral elbow and forearm (A and B). Plain radiography showed a fracture of the ulna shaft as well as dislocation of the radial head. This radiological finding, also called Monteggia fracture-dislocation, was associated with a radiocarpal amputation of wrist-joint (C and D). Monteggia fracturedislocation with wrist amputation is an uncommon condition. The patient was treated successfully with closed reduction of the elbow dislocation and internal fixation of the ulna fracture. The evolution was satisfactory.

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...
متن کاملOccult Monteggia fracture in an adult: a case report.
Injuries with the Monteggia fracture-dislocation pattern necessitate operative fixation of the ulna fracture in an adult. It is important to identify this by taking radiographs of the elbow and wrist joints in all cases of ulna fracture. We present a case of an occult Monteggia fracture-dislocation in an adult, which was not apparent on the initial radiographs. A thorough clinical examination a...

Background: Isolated distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocation is uncommon. It always associated with the radius and ulna fracture (distal radius fracture, Galeazzi, Monteggia fracture or the Essex-Lopresti forearm fracture). Many of DRUJ dislocation associated with distal radius fracture, especially Colles’ fracture. Volar locking plate (VLP) must be used to fix the distal fragments and the c...
متن کاملType III Monteggia fracture with posterior interosseous nerve injury in a child
RATIONALE Elbow injury in children by improper treatment or a delay of more than 3 weeks could lead to old unreduced Monteggia fracture, which are difficult to manage. Conservative or normal surgical methods usually fail. PATIENT CONCERNS Herein, we present a 6-year-old boy with sustaining injury approximately 1 month to his left elbow. Activity in his elbow was restricted, and his ability to...

Monteggia and Galeazzi fractures account for 1-5% of total forearm fractures. A combined Monteggia and Galeazzi fracture is an extremely rare injury. We present a case of a Gustillo-Henderson type 2 open combined bipolar Monteggia and Galeazzi fracture, as well as fracture of the ulnar coronoid process in a 49-year old male. The patient was treated surgically, with open reduction and internal f...
