Distal humerus lateral condyle fracture and Monteggia lesion in a 3-year old child: a case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a case of a Monteggia fracture dislocation and an ipsilateral lateral humeral condyle fracture in a 3-year-old child. This is a rare combination of injuries with no previously reported cases in the literature. This case emphasises that when a fracture is detected around an elbow there should be a high index of suspicion for other injuries in the region.

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...
