Type III Monteggia Injury With Ipsilateral Distal Radius And Ulna Fracture

Monteggia described a lesion that consisted of a fracture of the proximal third of ulna and an anterior dislocation of the proximal end of the radius. Bado[1] in a series of forty patients, found that the fracture and dislocation could be displaced in various directions and described an extensive classification according to the direction of displacement of the radial head. This is a case report of an eight-year-old girl who sustained a type III Monteggia injury with ipsilateral distal radius and ulna fracture that to the best of our knowledge has not been previously reported in literature.
