3. Physical Examination
• A-B-C-D-E : ok
• V/S
- BT : 36 c
- BP : 126/70 mmHg
- RR : 20 /min
- PR : 110 bpm
• Effected part : Rt. Forearm defomity, sweling , marked tender. Limit
ROM of Rt. elbow, no external bleeding, neurovascular intacted. Full
ROM of Rt. thumb
8. •Dx : Monteggia fracture Rt. forearm
(proximal 1/3 ulnar fracture with associated radial head
dislocation/instability)

12. Epidemiology
- rare in adults
- more common in children with peak incidence between 4 and 10
years of age
13. Presentation
•Pain and swelling at elbow joint
•Limit ROM due to dislocation
•PIN neuropathy
- Radial deviation of hand with wrist extension
- Weakness of thumb extension
- Weakness of MCP extension
15. Type 1
•Fracture ulna with anterior dislocation of the radial head (most common in
children and young adults)
•Direct blow to post. aspect of elbow
16. Type 2
•Fracture ulna with posterior dislocation of the radial head (70 to 80% of
adult Monteggia fractures)
•Longitudinal direction force on partially flexed elbow
17. Type 3
•Fracture ulna with lateral dislocation of the radial head
•Varus stress on extended elbow
18. Type 4
•Fracture ulna with anterior dislocation of the radial head with radial shaft fracture.
•Poorly understood but presumed to be similar to Type 1
19. Treatment - Pediatric patient
•Non-operative
• Closed reduction of ulna and radial head dislocation and long arm
casting
- Indication : Bado type 1-3
- Type 1,3 : immobilize in 110° of flexion and full supination
- Type 2 : immobilize in 70° of flexion and full supination
20. •Operative
• plating of ulna + reduction of radial head ± annular ligament
repair/reconstruction
- Indication :
1. Bado Types I-III with
- radial head is not stable following reduction
- ulnar length is not stable (unable to maintain ulnar length)
2. Acute Bado Type IV
3. Open fractures
21. Treatment in adult patient
•ORIF of ulna shaft fracture ± open reduction of radial head
22. Complication
•PIN or radial nerve palsy from anterior displacement of radial head
- spontaneous recovery is usual
•Non-union of fracture of ulnar shaft
•Mal-union of fracture of ulnar shaft
•Recurrent radial head dislocation
•Myositis ossificans
