Abstract

Introduction: Simultaneous Monteggia injuries of the elbow and ipsilateral distal radius and ulna fractures are very rare. Case Presentation: A unique case of a type I Monteggia fracture equivalent with ipsilateral fracture of the distal radius and ulna (Salter-Harris type II) in a child is reported. We describe the management of this unique fracture and discuss the possible mechanism of injury. Conclusion: We have highlighted a rare combination of injuries. Early recognition and prompt surgical intervention can lead to a satisfactory outcome even in these complex injuries. © 2008 Sood et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
