Monteggia Fracture } Drake LeBrun MD Experts 3 Bullets 65 3.4 ( 5 ) 3 Images Snapshot A 35-year-old man presents to the emergency room for severe right elbow and forearm pain after sustaining a blunt injury to his right arm. [5] The mean arc of forearm rotation increased from 145 to 149. (8/80), Level 2 [8] : The Bado classification is based on the recognition that the apex of the fracture is in the same direction as the radial head dislocation. Monteggia fractures account for fewer than 5% of forearm fractures, with published literature supporting figures in the range of 1-2%. A high index of suspicion, therefore, should be maintained with any ulna fracture. J Pediatr Orthop 2017: 37(6): e335-e341.Penrose JH. (0/1), Level 5 [Full Text].

Richard L Ursone, MD is a member of the following medical societies: American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Society of Military Orthopaedic SurgeonsDisclosure: Nothing to disclose. - dislocation of radial head may be missed, eventhough frx of ulna is obvious (need AP, lateral and olbique X-rays of elbow) The records concerning ten consecutive years of experience with Monteggia fractures in adult patients at a level-one trauma center were retrospectively reviewed. The results of the present series are much better than those reported in most earlier studies, suggesting that stable anatomical fixation of the ulnar fracture (including associated fracture fragments of the coronoid process) with a plate and screws inserted with use of current techniques of fixation leads to a satisfactory result in most adults who have a Monteggia fracture. - fracture of ulnar metaphysis; Forearm fractures in children. Bado type II lesion after open reduction and internal fixation. Pediatric hand and upper limb surgery: a practicalguide. The other two unsatisfactory results were in a patient who had had a Bado type-I fracture and in one who had had a Bado type-IV fracture. Unstable fracture-dislocations of the forearm (Monteggia and Galeazzi lesions). The keys to successful diagnosis of a Monteggia fracture are clinical suspicion and radiographs of the entire forearm and elbow. - proposed mechanisms include direct blow & hyperpronation injuries as well-as the - angulated ulnar shaft is reduced by firm manual pressure; - Type II (flexion type) - 15% Monteggia Fractures in the pediatric population are defined as proximal ulna fractures or plastic deformation of the ulna with an associated radial head dislocation. 2022 Jul 22. J Bone Joint Surg Am. A good radiographic result was seen in all patients who underwent open reduction within 3 years after injury or before reaching 12 years of age. Loss of alignment after surgical treatment of posterior Monteggia fractures: salvage with dorsal contoured plating. Prompt recognition of this injury is imperative. Most nerve injuries are neurapraxias and typically resolve over a period of 4-6 months. Ulnar fracture with late radial head dislocation: delayed Monteggia fracture. Few contraindications for surgery exist. Diagnosis is made with forearm and elbow radiographs to check for congruency of the radiocapitellar joint in the setting of an ulna fracture.

This eponym is among the most widely recog nized by orthopaedic surgeons, largely because of the notoriously poor results associated with the treatment of these injuries, particularly in adults83948. - non union of frx of ulnar shaft This principle also applies to aGaleazzi fracture, which is a fracture of the distal radius with concomitant dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ). It is the character of the ulnar fracture, rather than the direction of radial head dislocation, that is useful in determining the optimal treatment of Monteggia fractures in both children and adults. plastic deformation of the ulna without obvious fracture, pain, swelling, and deformity about the forearm and elbow, isolated radial head dislocations almost never occur in pediatric patients, a line down the radial shaft should pass through the center of the capitellar ossification center, radial head is stable following reduction, radial head will reduce spontaneously with reduction of the ulna and restoration of ulnar length, for Type I, elbow flexion is the main reduction maneuver, if reduction of radiocapitellar joint is unsuccessful, annular ligament is most common block to reduction, radial head is not stable following reduction, ulnar length is not stable (unable to maintain ulnar length), older patients 10y if closed reduction is not stable, symptomatic individuals (pain, loss of forearm motion, progressive valgus deformity) who had delayed treatment or missed diagnosis, open reduction of radial head through a lateral approach if needed in chronic (>2-3 weeks old) Monteggia fractures where radial head still retains concave structure, annular ligament reconstruction almost never required for acute fractures, Pediatric Pelvis Trauma Radiographic Evaluation, Pediatric Hip Trauma Radiographic Evaluation, Pediatric Knee Trauma Radiographic Evaluation, Pediatric Ankle Trauma Radiographic Evaluation, Distal Humerus Physeal Separation - Pediatric, Proximal Tibia Metaphyseal FX - Pediatric, Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis (CRMO), Obstetric Brachial Plexopathy (Erb's, Klumpke's Palsy), Anterolateral Bowing & Congenital Pseudoarthrosis of Tibia, Clubfoot (congenital talipes equinovarus), Flexible Pes Planovalgus (Flexible Flatfoot), Congenital Hallux Varus (Atavistic Great Toe), Cerebral Palsy - Upper Extremity Disorders, Myelodysplasia (myelomeningocele, spinal bifida), Dysplasia Epiphysealis Hemimelica (Trevor's Disease).

[11, 12] Of the Monteggia fractures, Bado type I has been reported to be the most common (59%), followed by type III (26%), type II (5%), and type IV (1%). Floriano Putigna, DO, FAAEM is a member of the following medical societies: American Academy of Emergency Medicine, American College of Emergency Physicians, American Osteopathic AssociationDisclosure: Nothing to disclose. 1949;31B:578-88. Monteggia fractures are primarily associated with falls on an outstretched hand with forced pronation. Application of this eponym to all injuries with radiocapitellar subluxation or dislocation has led to some confusion. The anular (annular) and radial collateral ligaments stabilize the radial head. Undecided 2023 Lineage Medical, Inc. All rights reserved, PediatricsMonteggia Fracture - Pediatric. Radial head dislocation may lead to radial nerve injury. (1/8), Undecided - immobilization is continued until there is union of the ulna; Bruce HE, Harvey JP, Wilson JC Jr. Monteggia fractures. J Bone Joint Surg Br. Waters PM. Xiao RC, Chan JJ, Cirino CM, Kim JM. 19 (74):164-167. A Monteggia fracture involves a fracture of the ulna with disruption of the proximal radio-ulnar joint (PRUJ) and radiocapitellar dislocation (Bado, 1967). Proximal radius dislocations in skeletally immature teenagers and children occur in the setting of a spectrum of ulnar injuries that often do not follow classic adult patterns. Undecided 2012 Jun. Dhoju D, Parajuli B. Functional Outcome of Pediatric Monteggia Fracture Dislocation Treated Surgically in a Tertiary Care Centre of Nepal. Prompt recognition of this injury is imperative. Diagnosis can be made with plain radiographs of the elbow. Wang C, Su Y. What preoperative planning is required for surgical treatment of. - type I, III, and IV lesions are held in 110 deg. - frx of proximal 1/3 of radius & frx of ulna at the same level; - Exam: ROM increased by an average of 30. J Bone Joint Surg Br. Properly assessing the nature of this injury in a timely fashion is imperative in order to prevent permanent disability or limb dysfunction. 39 (4):451-5. The character of the ulnar fracture is useful in determining optimal treatment. Di Gennaro GL, Martinelli A, Bettuzzi C, Antonioli D, Rotini R. Outcomes after surgical treatment of missed Monteggia fractures in children. - hence, these patients will require close follow up; - Treatment: 3rd ed. (0/8). Once the radial head is reduced in closed injuries, surgical treatment may be delayed until the patient is stable and the surgery may be performed in a more elective fashion. The radius and ulna are closely invested by the interosseous membrane, which accounts for the increased risk of displacement or injury to the radius when the ulna fractures. It is imperative to look for associated injuries of the radial head and coronoid, which alter the management and lead to altered outcomes. Material and method Chin J Traumatol. Six of the eight patients who had an unsatisfactory (fair or poor) result had had a Bado type-II fracture with a concomitant fracture of the radial head. The distal ulna and radius also articulate at the DRUJ. - frx of ulna just distal to coronoid process w/ lateral dislocation of radial head; - Type IV (5%) 2019 Feb. 31 (1):54-60. If you log out, you will be required to enter your username and password the next time you visit. - recurrent radial head dislocation The original description is of a "traumatic lesion distinguished by a fracture of the proximal third of the ulna and an anterior dislocation of the proximal epiphysis of the radius"" [1].
