MONTEGGIA FRACTURE : * is a fracture of the proximal third of the ulna with dislocation of the head of the radius. * (hyper-pronation injury) * isolated ulnar shaft fractures (most commonly seen in defense against blunt trauma) is not a Monteggia fracture. It is called a &;nightstick fracture&;. MANAGEMENT : * open reduction and internal fixation of the ulnar shaft is considered the standard treatment in adults. * Monteggia fractures may be managed conservatively in children with closed reduction but due to high risk of displacement causing malunion, open reduction internal fixation is typically performed.
