Overview

The Monteggia fracture is a fracture of the ulna that affects the joint with the radius.

More precisely, it is a fracture of the proximal third of the ulna with the dislocation of the head of radius.

Classification

  • Flexion type
  • Extension type

The type depends on the displacement of the fracture fragment. The cause most frequently is a fall on an outstretched hand.

Management

Monteggia fractures maybe managed conservatively in children, but due to high risk of displacement causing malunion open reduction and internal fixation is typically done.
