Unusual Combination of Monteggia, Radius Shaft, and Scaphoid Fractures
نویسندگان
چکیده
A rare combination of an ulnar fracture with posterior dislocation of the head of the radius and fracture of the radius shaft concomitant with an ipsilateral scaphoid fracture is presented. To the best of our knowledge, no such case has been reported. The mechanism of this fracture combination is discussed with respect to its role in producing the Monteggia type II fracture. Treatment consisted of a combination of closed and open reduction with external fixation.

Fracture Of The Proximal Ulna In Association With An Ipsilateral Complex Distal Radius Fracture: A Case Report
Simultaneous ipsilateral distal and proximal fractures of the forearm are rare [1-3]. There have been case reports describing an olecranon fracture associated with an ipsilateral distal radius epiphyseal injury[1], a Monteggia lesion with an associated ipsilateral distal radius epiphyseal injury[4] or associated with ipsilateral distal radius and ulna metaphyseal fractures[5, 6]. Furthermore, t...

We present an exceedingly rare case of left Monteggia-Galeazzi fracture-dislocation and right Monteggiadistal radius fracture occurring simultaneously in a 20-year old male patient who had fallen 13 meters from a building. The combination of Monteggia and Galeazzi fracture-dislocation in the same forearm is very rare and, to the best of our knowledge, simultaneous bilateral Monteggia and Galea...
متن کاملDislocation of the head of the radius associated with fracture of the upper end of the ulna in children.
Traumatic dislocation of the head of the radius in children may be either an isolated injury or, more commonly, part of a more complex injury to the elbow, such as the Monteggia fracture-dislocation. in that injury the dislocation of the head of the radius is described as anterior or posterior and the fracture of the ulna affects its shaft (Watson-Jones 1956). Wise (1941) reported a case of lat...

INTRODUCTION We report a case of Type 1 Monteggia equivalent injury with intact radio-capitellar congruity, associated with epiphyseal fracture of distal radius and distal ulna shaft in an 11-year-old boy. There are only a few cases of Monteggia or Monteggia equivalent injury with ipsilateral forearm fractures in children, and injury pattern being reported by us is not only rare but also the on...
