We present the case of a 12-year- old boy who suffered from a combination of Monteggia fracture-dislocation along with ipsilateral distal radius fracture. The patient underwent closed reduction of the Monteggia lesion and the distal radius followed by percutaneous pinning. The postoperative course was satisfactory. Associated Monteggia fracture-dislocation and ipsilateral distal forearm fracture are rare. Our case and the literature review highlight the presence of common clinical features in pediatric patients with these particular injuries, including male dominance, age around 9 years, fall from a height, and lateral displacement of the dislocated radial head.

Surgical Management of Radial Head and Proximal Ulna Fractures Without Elbow Dislocation: A Case Report.
Cureus
December 2024
Orthopedics and Traumatology, Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, Istanbul, TUR.
Article Synopsis
- Fractures of the proximal ulna and radial head often arise from falls or direct impacts, affecting elbow stability and function with symptoms like pain and limited motion.
- The common clinical scenario involves radial head dislocation accompanied by a proximal ulna fracture, known as a Monteggia fracture-dislocation.
- This study examines the surgical treatment of a patient with these fractures and their subsequent physical therapy follow-up.
SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF A TYPE III MONTEGGIA FRACTURE IN AN EASTERN BLACK-AND-WHITE COLOBUS ().
J Zoo Wildl Med

Toledo Zoo & Aquarium, Toledo, OH 43609, USA.
A one-year-old female Eastern black-and-white Colobus () was evaluated after tangling its right forelimb in exhibit netting. Radiographs of the right forelimb revealed craniolateral luxation of the radial head and a complete transverse fracture of the proximal ulna, otherwise known as a type III Monteggia fracture. Open reduction was performed and a locking cuttable bone plate was placed to address the ulnar fracture.

Article Synopsis
- Humeroradial joint fixation (HJF) using Kirschner wires (K-wires) is commonly used in pediatric elbow surgeries but raises concerns about complications, notably K-wire breakage.
- A study analyzed 249 children treated for Monteggia fractures, assessing complications like skin irritation and elbow instability, with an average follow-up of 6.6 weeks on K-wire fixation.
- Results indicated a high success rate in elbow function, with most patients scoring excellent or good, suggesting that HJF with K-wires is a safe and effective technique for maintaining stability in pediatric elbow surgeries.

Ulnar Nerve Management in Complex Elbow Dislocations: A Retrospective Monocentric Study.
J Pers Med
October 2024
Hand Surgery and Reconstructive Microsurgery Department, CTO Hospital, A.O.U. Città della Salute e della Scienza, 10126 Turin, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The ulnar nerve is often affected by complex elbow dislocations due to its unique anatomy, leading to variable treatment outcomes and pain among patients.
- A study involving 44 patients revealed that those who had ulnar nerve transposition during surgery experienced more incidents of neuropathy, although their symptoms were less severe but lasted longer compared to those who did not have the procedure.
- The findings suggest that routine transposition of the ulnar nerve may not be necessary in these cases, but further research with larger sample sizes is needed to confirm these conclusions.
